South Durham Little League: News: Welcome to South Durham Little League
Serving South Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, and Carrboro, North Carolina
South Durham Little League has been a chartered entity of Little League Baseball, Inc., headquartered in Williamsport, PA, since 1991. Even though the name says South Durham, our territory encompasses Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Cary.
As an organization, we are committed to teaching your player the skills necessary to excel as a baseball player, as well as teaching them the attributes of good sportsmanship, responsibility, the discipline of teamwork and the importance of fair play.
Many of our coaches played high school and/or college baseball and a few continued on to play as a professional. They are all students of the game and are dedicated to ensuring that your player has fun while at the same time improving his/her skills. Many of our former players have gone on to play middle school and high school baseball for schools in our area and a few play at the college level.
We play a competitive brand of baseball. We make no apologies or excuses for that as we all know that life itself is a competitive game. The level of competitiveness, however, takes into consideration our kids and "Win at any cost" is strictly against our philosophy. The kids always come first.
We expect that each of you will set the example of good sportsmanship and fair play for our players. We ask that you do not heckle our umpires, coaches or players. Such things as yelling "swing" or "he can't hit" to an opposing batter are not acceptable and won't be tolerated. A good play or hit on the part of the opposing team is just as deserving of your applause as is a good play or hit on the part of your player's team. And, believe it our not, the umpire has a much better view of the strike zone than you do from the bleachers!
Please check our web site frequently as we have found it to be the most effective and efficient way to communicate with everyone. Thank you for your interest in and support of SDLL. We hope that both you and your player will have an exciting and fun-filled experience!
