MISSION STATEMENT

The primary mission of the New Rochelle Little League is the healthy development of boys and girls in such a way that they grow into fine adults. Through proper guidance and exemplary leadership, the New Rochelle Little League program assists children in developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being. By espousing the virtues of character, courage and loyalty, the New Rochelle Little League Baseball program is designed to develop superior citizens rather than superior athletes.

Core Values

The New Rochelle Little League believes that the ideals of fairness, integrity, and honesty can be aided through the virtue of transparency, emotional intelligence and social bonding. This will be achieved through guided participation, a supportive environment and focused practice using the collective wisdom of the community.

New Rochelle Little League Goals

The New Rochelle Little League has three goals, (1) to inspire your boys and girls to enhance their physical, social and interpersonal skills through competition, (2) to offer the community the practiced wisdom, thoughtfulness and guidance of its elders, and (3) to provide all members of the community an outlet and a place to meet and share their gifts.

Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in New Rochelle Little League...Volunteer organizations are only as good as their volunteers!!
