The photo on the left is our "Field of Dreams", our home. It was built by our parents, players, and friends over the last 12 years. There are 7 baseball, softball and Tee-Ball fields. It is the largest community project ever built solely by volunteers in Pennsylvania. No Federal, State or local funding is provided to BPALL for Dreams. It is operated, maintained and controlled by BPALL.
In addition to our regular season spring, summer, and fall programs, BPALL competes in Pennsylvania Little League District 27, with the opportunity to advance to Section 8 and state tournament play.
BPALL is a Tax-Exempt Charity under IRC 501(c)(3). All donations made to "BPALL" are fully tax deductible. BPALL's United Way number is 12738.

2010 Team Sponsorship Program
Donations received through team sponsorships are second only to registration fees as a funding source for our Little League. Sponsorships have been in large part responsible for funding improvements in fields as well as continuing the financial support of the Challenger League for our special needs boys and girls. Please consider sponsoring a team – Sponsors’ names are printed on team uniforms and a handsome keepsake plaque, with a picture of the sponsored team, is presented to each Sponsor. Team Sponsors are needed in 2010! In 2009 all BPALL teams had sponsorships and we are concerned that not all teams in 2010 will have Sponsors. The BPALL Board of Directors recognizes that the current economic conditions continue to present a challenge for many of our local businesses and households. Thus, we have held the cost of sponsorships at the reduced rate introduced last season. Tball teams - $155; All other spring, summer, and fall teams - $245. Please click on the document link below for the sponsor application. Your sponsorship is very much appreciated. The cost of sponsorship is a deductible charitable contribution for tax purposes. If you have any questions, please contact our Sponsorship Director, Evelyn Shreve at ewshreve@msn.com or 610-688-3005.

Fall Ball registration 2009
Fall Ball registration for Berwyn Paoli Area Little League is now open. Fall Ball is a great way for a baseball or softball player to stay active in the sport during the offseason. It is fairly informal and always fun. Our Fall Ball program is very popular and has been very successful in the past few years. We play against fall ball teams from other local little leagues.
Many of the boys and girls play Fall Ball in addition to soccer. There are few practices, if any, and games are mostly on Sundays (with an occasional Saturday game). For those players moving up a division next spring season, it is a great, low-key opportunity to get some experience at the new level of play. For everyone else, it is a good way to sharpen your skills and get some bonus baseball/softball in while the weather remains nice.
For Softball, we generally field teams in minors (3rd and 4th grades), majors (5th and 6th grades) and juniors (7th and 8th graders); grades represent their grades as of Fall 2009. For Baseball, we field teams of 9-year-olds, 10-year-olds, 11- and 12-year olds, and, 13-14-year-olds; the ages represent what the boys would be as of April 30, 2010.
On-line registration may be accessed at the web site below (if the link does not work, please cut and paste the web address directly into your browser):
