Baseball for elementary school aged kids
I have been looking everywhere but am unable to find a youth program for a 7 year old. Is there anything in Berkeley for elementary school aged kids or is it only albany for 10-12 year olds and then piedmont or oakland for others? Where have your kids done youth baseball? Thanks!

Depending on where you live, it’s either Albany or NOLL (North Oakland Little League). Not sure why you saw that Albany is only older kids - both leagues start at 5 years old with Tee-Ball! Check with Albany again. Perhaps you live in South Berkeley and so are out of their inclusion zone? We’ve actually done (and coached) both leagues and (in short) they’re great. It’s Too soon to sign up for the spring, however.
Check out El Cerrito Youth Baseball. My 5 year old played this spring and loved it, we’ll do it again next spring.
Lots of Berkeley kiddos do El Cerrito: https://www.ecyb.org/
Albany Little League and El Cerrito Youth Baseball are the closest to Berkeley. Albany Little League practices at UC Village so pretty convenient for most of Berkeley. FYI fall ball is starting soon if they want to play now.City of Berkeley user to have a summer Rec program but I don’t know if they still do. They don’t have Little League
Albany little league starts at 5 years old. I believe registration is in February.
My kids played in the El Cerrito Baseball Leagues from 5-14. I highly recommend it. https://www.ecyb.org/
Berkeley Albany little league starts in spring. But for right now, if you look on the website there is "fall ball" which is a once-a -week skills clinic and starts in the next week or two. There is also a travel ball team for Berkeley Albany (the Cyclones)
Hope that helps
