Today, when it comes to recreation and sports, it seems like children have more choices than ever – whether it’s team sports, individual sports, or just playing video games.

On any given spring evening, 360,000 children around the world can be found on the dusty mounds and grassy fields of a Little League field. With more than four million people playing or volunteering in Little League games every year, Little League is the institutional rite of passage into the quintessential American pastime.

Little League Baseball provides an opportunity for children to learn the lifetime skills of leadership, sportsmanship, and teamwork.

These days, Little League is played on 12,000 diamonds in 50 states and 103 foreign countries. The climax of each season is the Little League World Series in Williamsport, played before 40,000 spectators and broadcast on national TV. There are corporate sponsors ranging from American Honda to insurer CNA Financial and TV Guide and celebrity spectators from Kevin Costner to Carlton Fisk.

Freeport Little League offers each child those same opportunities, and instills many life-long memories in children which we are very proud of. So welcome to Freeport Little League, and as always, we hope you have a wonderful season.

Starting with the 2007 season, pitchers in all divisions of Little League, from age 7 to 18, will have specific limits for each game, based on their age.
