About Us

The Goal of Little League...To help youngsters develop citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well being through sports.  To help youngsters learn their own strengths & weaknesses, the meanings of sportsmanship and cooperation, the essence of competition, and the qualities that constitute effective leadership. Rutherford Little League is a non-profit charitable organization whose mission is to provide a safe, instructional and fun environment for the children of Rutherford, New Jersey, ages 4-14.

Chartered under the umbrella of Little League International, Inc, and Little League District 5 of New Jersey, we share a mission to "to promote, develop, supervise, and voluntarily assist in all lawful ways, the interest of those who will participate in Little League Baseball and Softball." Since 1951, Rutherford League has been an anchor of the community.

Our non-profit organization operates as an all-volunteer program. We rely on the support of our network of families, local businesses, corporate and community sponsors. Through this outpouring of support, Rutherford Little League continues this tradition and mission so that more than 500 boys and girls, ages 4-14, in multiple divisions of baseball and softball programs can play every season.
