Spirit of Sacball

Seattle Adult Casual Baseball (Sacball) is a casual sandlot baseball league for adults (18+) with a competitive spirit and a love of baseball. We do not keep stats, dictate playing time, set positions, or keep rosters. Every week, team captains form two teams from all the registered players that attend.

Sacball is an inclusive space open to all genders, races, ethnicities, orientations, and ability levels.

Location

All games are played at Wilburton Hill Park Field #1 in Bellevue, Washington.

In addition to the baseball fields, Wilburton also has a large playground and hiking trails.
