About Little League

Founded in 1939, Little League® Baseball and Softball is the world’s largest organized youth sports program, with millions of players and more than one million adult volunteers in every U.S. state and more than 80 other countries.

During its nearly 80 years of existence, Little League has seen more than 40 million honored graduates, including public officials, professional athletes, award-winning artists, and a variety of other influential members of society. Each year, millions of people follow the hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship that Little Leaguers® display at our seven baseball and softball World Series events, the premier tournaments in youth sports. https://www.littleleague.org/w...

In 2019, the UK Clubs registered in Little League elected their first District Administrator. The British Baseball Federation, solely provides operational support (e.g., website space, etc). The BBF has no authority over the UK Little League Tournament, waivers, boundaries, or rules. 

A spokesperson for the British Baseball Federation, said," We are delighted our clubs have chosen someone that they trust and support. Charles Truby being the newly elected District Administrator (DA), has our support to promote Little League and we will assist him where we can. You should expect a resurgence of Little League in the UK. Little League offers something for the entire family, offers great competition, is a pathway to international competition and it is great just fun!"
