Mission Statement
The Mission of the Danville Little League is to provide quality baseball experiences to Danville youth in a safe environment that balances integrity, respect, competition, fun and fair play. To achieve this objective, the Local League will provide a supervised program under the Rules and Regulations of Little League Baseball, Incorporated. All Directors, Officers and Members shall bear in mind that the attainment of exceptional athletic skill or the winning of games is secondary, and the molding of future citizens is of prime importance. In accordance with Section 501-(c)-(3) of the Federal Internal Revenue Code, the Local League shall operate exclusively as a non-profit educational organization providing a supervised program of competitive baseball games.
Danville Little League is committed to:
- Providing a quality instructional program that teaches fundamental skills, tactics, and strategies for the game of baseball
- Preparing the youth athlete for participation at the next level of play
