Greenwich Village Little League (GVLL) was founded in 1984 by a local parent to give our children the opportunity to play baseball and softball. Today, nearly 900 girls and boys play on 65 teams in the Spring.
We are active with play and instruction all year round. Our main event is the Spring season from April to June. We offer Summer Ball teams in July and August, then Fall Ball from September to November. Winter workouts are held indoors at the P3 facility at Pier 40 from December to March.
We are an ALL volunteer organization. We are all inclusive, we like to have fun in our city, and we teach our children sportsmanship and to honor the game. A small army of volunteers helps in many ways including a Board of Directions, Team Coordinators, Team Managers & Coaches, Safety Officers and Umpires. Our volunteers manage Sponsorships, Marketing, Equipment, Permits and Schedules. What's more, nearly half of our Parent members contribute in some active way such as for Registrations, Opening Day, Picture Day, and other activities.
