In Case You Missed It – For Local Leagues

Little League International does a great job sending out timely reminders about what we should be doing during the season. Unfortunately, they get lost in our mailboxes and we often miss out on their important messages. Here you can find a recap of all those reminders, In Case You Missed It…

Rulebook App Updated for 2024

The Little League Rulebook App is available on both Android and iPhones FOR FREE. This app will always have the most up-to-date rules for Baseball, Softball, and Challenger.  It’s even approved for use in the dugout!  Get the latest information here.

International Volunteer Day

December 5th is International Volunteer Day, and for Little League its a great time to remember that we are an ALL VOLUNTEER organization.
