Petaluma Valley Little League: Welcome
 |
|
|
The PVLL was established in 1971 to provide a Little League program for the children of the southeastern part of Petaluma bordered on the north by E. Washington St. and Sonoma Mountain Rd.; on the west by U.S. 101 and the Petaluma River; on the south by Highway 37; and on the east by the crest of the Sonoma Mountains (crossing Highway 116 at County Dump Rd.).
Our home field is Murphy Field (located in McDowell Park). The field is named for Richard F. Murphy and was dedicated on July 29, 1995. There is a plaque in front of Murphy Field noting Rich's place in PVLL history.
1995 also marks the high point in PVLL history as our 11-12 year-old All-Stars made a run at the Little League World Series! The team's remarkable summer ended just two victories shy of Williamsport. A runner-up finish at the Western Region Tournament in San Bernardino, CA and a Northern California State Championship mark the farthest any PVLL team has advanced in tournament play.
The PVLL is a member of California District 35 which represents Sonoma, Lake and Mendocino counties in the North Bay Area. The PVLL is a baseball-only chartered Little League open to children age 7 to 18.

Welcome to yet another season of Petaluma Valley Little League Baseball.
We are excited to announce our 2012 season registration schedule and fees. The registration schedules are listed in related stories below. The registration fees are still ... $175 per child or a maximum of $350 per family. Scholarships are available upon request.
The 2012 season will continue the exciting new changes that we introduced back in 2009. The PVLL will continue to "re-draft" each team, at each playing level, every year. We will also continue our four-team "double-elimination" championship tournament to determine our Major Division champion.
We are offering sign-ups in person, at the dates and times listed below. For convenience, we are accepting payment by credit card via Online Registration (details in the related story below). Note that the fee associated with paying by credit card will be added to the transaction. The PVLL will not process registration refunds after tryouts have been conducted.
We look forward to seeing everyone at sign-ups and we look forward to another great year at Petaluma Valley Little League.
