Sunset Little League

2024 was a great year for Sunset Little League. We continue to strive to make participation in Little League affordable for every youth within the boundaries of Sunset Little League. We continue to have record registrations. Our Spring registrations set an all-time Sunset Little League record with 773 enrollments. The Spring registration breakout is as follows: 570 Baseball registrations 39 Challenger registrations 162 Softball registrationsFall registrations were equally healthy. The Fall breakout was as follows: 444 Baseball registrations 20 Challenger registrations 140 Softball registrationsSunset Little League, to mitigate the higher operational costs, have reached out to our community for sponsorships. Our community has responded in a tremendous way. This year we received over $17,000 in community sponsorships! The financial success we have had for the past few years has brought about opportunities to make improvements to the facilities. These improvements are meant to increase the enjoyment of Little League by providing additional practice opportunities. We were able to construct a new batting cage to the west of field 7. The cage has 2 tunnels and is equipped with netting and Z-screens to protect the batting practice pitchers. The location of the cages makes it so that we can utilize the cages after the sun goes down, as they are situated close enough to field 7 to share the lighting from the field. The cages owned by Sunset Little League are meant to be used only by league membership. However, due to their proximity to field 7, many of the other organizations that utilize the fields will hit baseballs into the chain link as practice before their games. To try to protect the cages from damage from those that hit into the chain link, we have installed hitting pads. We anticipate the new batting cages will be a benefit to little leaguers for generations to come.
