Through proper guidance and exemplary leadership, the Little League program assists youth in developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being. By espousing the virtues of character, courage and loyalty, the Little League Baseball and Softball program is designed to develop superior citizens rather than superior athletes We hope you and your children (boys & girls ages 5-12) will decide to become part of the Neartown Family and sign up to play ball with us!
