Little League® International is pleased to announce the launch of the first-ever Girls Baseball Event to be held at Howard J. Lamade Stadium and complex on June 7-9, 2024, as part of the organization’s year-long Girls with Game 50 Celebration. Named after one of the program’s original Girls with Game, the “Maria Pepe Little League Baseball® Legacy Series: A Girls with Game Experience” will bring together nearly 100 female baseball players (League Ages 10-12, based on the Baseball Age Determination Date) together for a weekend of fun, excitement, competition, and most of all a celebration of female baseball players across all generations.

Individuals interested in participating in this historic event are asked to fill out the registration form below, which will put that player on the official registration waitlist for consideration to participate. Once enough interest has been received through this registration process, Little League® International will then evaluate the waitlist and select a total of 96 individuals to participate in the event. NOTE: Individuals interested in applying do not need to be affiliated with a Little League program to be eligible to participate.

The registration fee for those 96 selected individuals is $50 and will cover housing, meals, and the games and activities for the players. Assistance is available for individuals unable to pay the $50 registration fee. NOTE: The registration fee will not be charged unless you are selected as a participant for this event.

The 96 selected players will be provided with housing accommodations in the dorms at the Dr. Creighton J. Hale International Grove, with chaperones provided by Little League International. As part of the overall experience, participants will also have access to other activities on the complex and will be provided meals during their stay at the event.

The event will kick off with an opening evaluation clinic on Friday, June 7, and following the clinic, the 96 registered players will be divided into eight teams for the weekend’s event. Teams will play a minimum of three games each from Friday evening through Sunday, with games being held in both Howard J. Lamade and Volunteer Stadiums.

Event Schedule (Subject to Change):

• Friday, June 7: Arrival, Check-In, and Evaluation Clinic
• Saturday, June 8: Games (2 games per team)
• Sunday, June 9: Games (1 game per team) and Departure
