At its core, the purpose of Little League is to provide a safe, fun, wholesome combination of recreation and competition through regular season play among local teams. For those players whose skills are more advanced, the Little League International Tournament allows Canadian Little Leaguers to participate in the largest sports tournament in the world, with more than 40,000 games played each summer on the road to the various World Series tournaments.

Little League Baseball involves more than three million youth worldwide in over 100 countries. It is the largest amateur volunteer sport organization in the world. Visit Little League International for more information.

The Little League program was founded by Carl Stotz in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in the late 1930's and came to Canada at Little Mountain in 1951, which was the first International Little League charter ever granted.
