This is an outline story about men and women with vision who worked to make the place where they lived a very family-oriented community centered on children. Now we all enjoy the fruits of their labor and below is the story of how it all began, how it grew, where it is now and where it is going in the future.

This history is a Thank You – to those who came before us, to those who now carry the torch and to those who are yet to come. We salute the 550 LYA volunteers who each year commit over 180,000 hours to the children of the community organizing teams, coaching, refereeing, umpiring, maintaining fields, fundraising, managing the books and insurance, working the concession stand, registering and data-basing, and attending meetings begging for land.
“Let there be no greater cause than to invest in the future of America through its children and let there be no obstacle so great that would deter this valiant effort.”
