East Scottsdale is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization serving children (aged 5 - 18 by April 30th) who reside in the Navajo and Pueblo School attendance areas (roughly between the Arizona Canal to the north and west, Osborn Rd to the south, and Pima Rd to the east....see boundary map in the Handouts section for exact areas included). Our goals are for the kids to have fun, build confidence, learn team skills, and respect for the game. Our season is between March and May. In person sign ups start in January. The season can run longer for players that participate in playoffs and all-stars. Please take your time looking through the information on the site.
2009 Playoff Information
2009 Majors Playoff
2009 Minors Playoff
The playoff schedule for the ESLL end of season tournament is now posted. The minors seedings have been drawn and the majors seedings will be determined at the end of the regular season based on win/loss records.
All of the games will be played on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays with varying start times. Please review the handouts section for the majors & minors playoff schedules to verify the start dates & times.
All games will still have the same time limits as you have played throughout the season. However, if at the end of the drop dead time limit the score is tied, you should expect to continue playing until there is no longer a tie at the end of an inning.

The Little League Pledge!
The Little League Pledge was written by Peter J. McGovern, the late president of Little League Baseball, in 1954.
It made its first appearance in the February 1955 "Little Leaguer" magazine. Its text has remained unchanged in the half-century since then.
Those in the East Scottsdale Little League recite the pledge during the Opening Day ceremonies.
I trust in God
I love my country
And will respect its laws
I will play fair
And strive to win
But win or lose
I will always do my best
"I could still recite the Little League Pledge today if you asked. It says win or lose,
always do your best. That's what I learned most from Little League Baseball." - Gary Carter, Baseball Hall of Fame catcher
