 Washington District 8 Little League® serves the north Seattle area from the ship canal north to the King/Snohomish county line and from Puget Sound east to lake Washington and through Woodinville. If you are looking for a place for you or your child to play baseball or softball, please check out our interactive boundary map to find the correct league, or you can contact us to find out which league you reside in.

How Can Coaches and Parents Improve Youth Sports?
In answering this question, sport psychologists Frank Smoll and Ronald Smith conducted over 25 years of research at the University of Washington. Drs. Smoll and Smith are the co-directors of a project known as Youth Enrichment in Sports (YESports). The objective of the project was to develop, evaluate, and deliver child-centered educational programs that benefit young athletes. Supported by grants from the National Institute of Mental Health and the William T. Grant Foundation, Smoll’s and Smith’s approach illustrates what is called “evidence-based practice” in the field of medicine. At every stage of the process, scientific research played a key role in developing YESports programs.
YESports training programs are designed to help coaches and parents create a mastery climate that promotes healthy achievement in all areas of life, including sports. A mastery orientation emphasizes skill development, maximum effort, and fun; and it occurs within an encouraging and supportive interpersonal environment.
