Get ready for another exciting season of Fall Ball! We're finalizing plans for the Fall Ball 2026 season and want to make sure everyone has the key details ahead of time.

Important Dates

• Season Start: Sunday, September 13, 2026
• Season End: Sunday, November 15, 2026
• 10 weeks = 10 games

Team Costs & Payments

• Returning Teams: Managers and players returning from the 2026 Spring/Summer season should budget $1,200 to cover field and ball fees for the season.
• New Teams: Teams new to Ventura NABA must pay the NABA 2026 Registration Fee of $450, which covers up to 16 player/manager spots.
• Umpire Fee: An additional $80 per game, paid on top of field and ball fees.

Weather Advisory: Large El Niño Season Predicted

Forecasters are predicting a large El Niño season this fall. This significantly raises the chance of rainouts and lost field time throughout Fall Ball.

Please note: Rainouts will NOT be made up this season. Plan and budget accordingly, as a heavier-than-usual rain pattern could mean a real reduction in the total number of games played.

We're looking forward to another great Fall Ball season! Please reach out with any questions or to confirm your team's participation.

Best,
​The Ventura Adult Baseball League

We are the Ventura chapter of the National Adult Baseball Association.  Our regular season games are in very nice city parks, college & high school fields throughout Ventura County (with real mounds, fences, and dugouts!). Every game will have a minimum of two umpires (summer league), and all games and player stats are kept online for all to see!

Our Summer League begins in March/April and is 15+ games.  Fall begins in September and is up to 10 game season.   We are WOOD bat leagues only.

We have 2 divisions for 18+ year olds and 35+ year olds so all ages can play!   (We can accept younger players 17 years old with parents consent forms that will turn 18 in the calendar year.)
