Opening Day Ceremonies – Rescheduled

As it turned out, there was no rain or snow Saturday morning but it was very cool with a strong breeze; the younger players likely would not have had a great time standing around during the ceremony.

As a make up for cancelling the opening day event, we are planning to have a mid-season event on Sat, Jun 8 starting at 9am. We will have several of the same events from opening day, we will also do our best to add a thing or two to keep this a special day for the players. Please save the date for now, more details to come.

Concessions Volunteers

We still need to fill three concession volunteer shifts for May, two needed for tomorrow May 4. The shifts for June will be posted after the May shifts have been filled.

When signing up, please pay attention to the eligibility statements on the signup page.

GLL Concessions Sign Up HERE.

Ball Throw Contest – Sat, Jun 8, 9am, LL1 (this is reschedueld from Opening Day) -
In two short years, the ball throw contest\fundraiser has grown to
become a much-anticipated fun event; it is really cool to see hundreds
of baseballs flying through the air at one time. Please plan to
purchase a few balls to participate, anyone (players, non-players, even adults) can
enter. This year we have $570 in prizes spread over three divisions of
throwers. All proceeds go directly towards the continued enhancement

Sponsors

We
are very fortunate to have a core group of loyal sponsors that have
been with us for several years; we also have new sponsors join us each
year.
It is through the generosity of these sponsors that we are able to
continue to offer our little league program. Please review our current list of sponsors and consider using them for your needs and services when possible. If you are interested in sponsoring a team you can find details in the SPONSORSHIP section of the "Downloads" page of this website; or contact Linda Plier by clicking HERE.

New GLL Fields Complex

We
continue to make slow, but steady progress developing our new Little
League fields at the corner of River Bend and Lakefield Roads. We
eagerly anticipate being able to build out the 3rd field this summer;
this will be a full-size Juniors field and is being built in memory to
Matt Malkowski.

We still have many additional needs for our new
Little League complex: 3rd LL field, practice fields, batting cages,
restrooms, concessions building, equipment shed, parking lot, power,
water\sewer, etc.; you get the idea.

We continue to search for
sponsors and contributions that can help us continue our build out. If
you are able to help in any way with equipment, services or other
donations, please contact Jerry Faust.

Please consider volunteering to help with this project; your efforts will be a legacy for our community for decades to come.

Board of Directors Meetings

The Grafton Little League Board of Directors meet the first Tuesday of each month (excluding April) at the Grafton Senior Center at 8pm. All are welcome to come and share ideas and\or concerns.
