The Smallest "Boys of Summer"

Although the first organized baseball game was played in 1846, it wasn't until 1938 that Carl Stotz created a baseball league for children. Today, Little League Baseball http://www.littleleague.org/Little_League_Online.htm is the world's largest organized youth sports program. Not only is Little League Baseball being played in all 50 states, kids in more than 80 countries are playing Little League Baseball. The basic goal of Little League Baseball remains as Carl Stotz intended; give children a game that provides the fundamental principles of sportsmanship, fair play and teamwork.

At a T Ball Little League game you will get a chance to see the youngest baseball players learn all about "America's Pastime". As Dads coach and pitch to the players, you will hear Moms and siblings cheer on the future major league stars! The Little League organization in Cornelius, NC http://www.cornelius.org/ has some great coaches and along with the beautifully manicured baseball fields, these little guys get to feel like Derek Jeter for a day!
