Our primary focus and goal is to provide every child within our boundaries the opportunity to experience LEARNING and IMPROVING on the fundamentals of BASEBALL and SOFTBALL in a FUN and educational environment - playing in Little League. Our objective, as with all Little League® programs and noted in our Constitution, is to "implant firmly in the children of the community the ideals of Good Sportsmanship, Honesty, Loyalty, Courage and Respect for authority, so that they may be well adjusted, stronger and happier children and will grow to be good, decent, healthy and trustworthy citizens."

 

Little League Baseball and Softball is a very unique “Youth sports” program – being first and foremost a "Child Development Program" using baseball and softball as the catalyst to help our youth become healthy, productive, positive members of their adult community - building on

"What Ages are eligible ?"

Little League uses an age cutoff date to determine "playing age" - and is in alignment with USAA Baseball and other national Softball programs.   The international program provides the opportunity for us to set up teams for ages 5 through 18.   "League Age" is determined as follows:

For Tee-Ball and Baseball: The child's age as of April 30th of the current year

For Girls' Softball: The child's age as December 31st immediately prior to the current playing season.

For the "Challenger Division" of Little League (our adaptive baseball program), players may be ages 5 through 21 as of April 30th of the current year.
