Olive Little League Mission Statement

 

Welcome to the official site of Olive Little League. We are an Orange County, CA based youth baseball league, affiliated with California District 30. Olive Little League offers league play for girls and boys between the ages of 5 – 18. Promoting and developing sportsmanship, character, teamwork, and the physical well-being of youths in a friendly, safe, and competitive environment are the underpinning goals of our league.

Overview

Olive Little League endorses the National Little League philosophy, and has made only slight modifications to some of the playing rules in an attempt to enhance the playing experience for our children. The following is an excerpt from the National Little League organization:

"Little League Baseball is a program of service to youth. It is geared to provide an outlet of healthful activity and training under good leadership in the atmosphere of wholesome community participation. The movement is dedicated to helping children become good and decent citizens. It strives to inspire them with a goal and to enrich their lives toward the day when they must take their places in the world. It establishes for them rudiments of teamwork and fair play."

League Structure

Olive Little League is structured into 9 divisions: Challenger Division, Big League, Senior League, Junior League, Majors, AAA, AA, A (Coach Pitch), T-Ball

Eligibility

Olive Little League is open to all children between the ages of 5 and 18 as of April 30th of each year. The league is open to players who live within the established physical boundaries, subject to adherence to established rules and required parental support. In addition, player candidates must have parental or legal guardian consent.

Operations

Olive Little League is an all-volunteer league. Many parents devote their personal time to support and operate the league. Help is always needed - if you are interested in volunteering some time, please contact any board member who can point you in the right direction.

Board of Directors

Members of the Olive Little League Board preside over the needs of the league for a term of one year. Each board member volunteers their personal time to ensure fields are maintained, uniforms are purchased, vendors are managed, communications are published, registration is taken care of, rules are established, teams are created, managers and coaches are selected, and sponsorships are secured. The board formally meets each month throughout the year, and informally in subcommittees as needed.
