 Message About Our League 

Freeport Little League is a non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers, parents, aunts, uncles, older siblings and grandparents, who help as much or as little as they can to provide the children of Freeport a safe place to run, laugh and play.  We teach the fundamentals of baseball and softball, but we also act as role models, substitute parents, and substitute teachers.  We teach the children the value of teamwork and  sportsmanship. We build their self esteem and help them to be proud of themselves. 

While we work hard to do the best that we can, nothing is ever perfect so we are always looking for feedback and ideas on how to improve the current process but we can't do it without you.  Please let us know of your experiences; we hold General Meetings the first Tuesday of every month at 8:00 PM at the Freeport Recreation Center.  Even better, become a member of the Freeport Little League family and volunteer your time.  We are always looking for help, both on the field and with administration.  If you are interested in helping out, please e-mail PlayBall@FreeportLittleLeague.com and express your interest.

Freeport little league was chartered by Little League International in 1952. This year we will be celebrating our 60^th anniversary. Hopefully this year will be our best. For months the Board of Directors and I have been meeting and planning for this special anniversary year. On April 21^st the games will begin and once again the ball fields in Freeport will be filled with the sounds of kids being kids.      

Before continuing I would like to thank the Board of Directors for their hard work and support. Without them an already difficult job would be unbearable and this league would not be nearly as good as it is.   In addition, I would like to thank the many volunteers who came forward and are volunteering their time and efforts to the children of Freeport, our kids. A big thank you to our sponsors who have been so kind and generous with their support in dollars and encouragement. Finally to the parents who place their valuable gift in our trust year after year and without whom there would be no little league.        

It’s proper that baseball should begin in the spring because spring is the time of renewal and hope. Just like the farmer who sows his seeds in the spring with the hope that in a few months he would be rewarded with a bountiful crop. We in the little league begin every spring with hope. While we realize that not every child is going to grow up and become a big league ball player we hope that some of the lessons learned as a little leaguer remain with them.  It is anticipated that they grow up to become good men and women with a spirit of fairness and team play and an understanding that not all the players have the same skills but all players must be respected and accepted. So as we begin our celebration for Freeport Little League’s 60^th Anniversary year I invite you to the fields to watch your children have fun.  We invite you to listen to the sound of their laughter and store it away for that time when they are too big to carry and feel too old to listen to you as it becomes your very special Little League memory.

Dear Little League Parents,

We wanted to let you know some exciting news: For the first time since 1999, a new division of play has been created in Little League.

Featuring a pitching distance of 50 feet and base paths of 70 feet, the new baseball division for players who are league-age 11-13 will be offered for the 2013 regular season. It will include postseason tournament opportunities, including a World Series.

The new baseball division will serve as a bridge between the current "Little League" size baseball field (46-foot pitching distance, 60-foot base paths) and a standard baseball diamond with 60.5-foot pitching and 90-foot base paths.

Full details on the new division, and all of the decisions from the recent meeting of the Little League International Board of Directors, can be found here.

Much more information on the new division will be forthcoming in the months ahead, so please stay tuned to the Little League Web Site (www.LittleLeague.org) and to our main Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/LittleLeagueBaseballAndSoftball) for the most recent updates.

Freeport Little League will participate in the Annual Memorial Day Parade being held on Monday May 28, 2012.  All teams will begin to assemble at 9:15 AM at the intersection of Lexington Avenue between Park and Madison Avenues.  The order of the parade will be as follows: T-Ball, Rookies, All Softball Teams, 8U, Minors, Majors, Juniors and Senior Baseball Divisions.  The parade will commence at 10 AM sharp.

Following the parade there will be a barbeque being held in the Randall Park Gazebo area.  All players in uniform will be entitled to a free hot dog, hamburger and soft drink.  All other family members and friends can purchase refreshments for $1.00 each.  As this will be a family outing, all are invited to bring food, tables and chairs to share.  Any additional activities will be announced shortly.
