The Goal of Little League...
To help youngsters develop citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well being through sports. To help youngsters learn their own strengths & weaknesses, the meanings of sportsmanship and cooperation, the essence of competition, and the qualities that constitute effective leadership. Shaw Butte Little League is a 501C-3 non-profit charitable organization whose mission is to provide a safe, instructional and fun environment for children within our boundaries, ages 4-14.We aspire to be an outstanding educational-athletic organization that provides a high-quality experience, in which every athlete:
- Has fun playing the game
- Feels like an important part of the team regardless of performance
- Learns "life lessons" that have value beyond the playing field
- Learns the skills, tactics and strategies of the game and improves as a player
We are committed to creating a culture in which players, coaches, parents, and fans work together to achieve our mission. Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in Little League. After completing a Little League volunteer application and passing a required national background check, parents may become involved in practices, and be eligible as coaches, managers, umpires, local league board members and other volunteer positions within the league
