Please Note:

The rules of Little League vary in some few but significant ways from the games you see on TV. Please learn the rules to better understand the game. 

Little league is an organization of volunteers.

Board members, coaches and assistant coaches are NOT paid positions.

Volunteers are giving of their time, experience and effort to make a positive experience for all the players of the league, please respect that sacrifice.

Our Umpires are volunteers, they are not professionals, nor are they perfect. They’re usually just kids or Dads who love and respect the great game so much that they umpire just to be on the field. If we abuse them, they will eventually just go away. 

Volunteer to Help:

Volunteering to help doesn’t mean you’re giving up your life. There are many small and/or one-time jobs that need to be done both during the season and during the off-season. Give what time you can and that means one less job that needs to be done by others. Contact any Board member or your team’s coaches to sign-up.

What does Your Coaching Staff Expect of You?

* To come to and enjoy the games.

* Cheer to make ALL the players feel important

* To allow them to coach and run the team

* Volunteer to offer your services at practices
