The East Meadow Little League, East
Meadow Girls Softball, and East Meadow Senior League are under charter by Little League
Baseball Incorporated for their annual Spring Season and is an all volunteer organization
for the benefit of the children who live within our
boundaries as defined by Little League Baseball. We serve
the East Meadow communities between North Jerusalem Road (on
the South) and Hempstead Turnpike (on the North) and between
the Wantagh Parkway (on the East) and the Meadowbrook
Parkway (on the West). We also serve the small area between
Carmen Avenue (on the East) and Eisenhower Park (on the
North and West).
The Association consists of five
individual leagues with a common goal, to provide a quality program
for the youth of our community. The Mini League serves boys ages
five and six and teaches the basic fundamentals of baseball. Our
Little League program serves boys ages 7 through 12 and builds on
the fundamentals learned in our Mini League as well as fostering a
love for the game and promoting good sportsmanship. The Senior
League serves boys ages 13 through 16 keeps the competition going.
Our Girls Softball League serves girls ages 5 through 16 with
several "divisions" much like the individual leagues for the boys,
teach the girls the basic fundamentals, good sportsmanship, and a
love for the game. Last but not least, our Challenger Division, with
Lee Cook at the helm of an amazing crew of volunteers, provides an
extraordinary program for special needs children in our community.
The main success in the Challenger Division is its ability to bring
out the best in its players and volunteers including players from
the other leagues who often volunteer as "buddies" to assist the
players in the Division.
Each league (with the exception of
the Challengers Division) elects it own President, Vice President
and several Board Members. Each of these Board Members and
Presidents comprise the Board of Directors, with the addition of
several At Large Directors, Life Directors and Commissioner and Vice
Commissioner.
Our Association is strictly a
volunteer organization and its success is due in large part to the
time and effort of those volunteers.
Each League holds it own monthly meetings, all
are welcome (and encouraged) to attend to hear what's going on it
each league, and voice any concerns. A friend once said to me "What
right do you have to complain about how things are being done if you
are not volunteering to help get things done?" That being said, below
is a listing of the regularly scheduled meeting dates for each
league.
Challenger Division - 1st Wednesday of each month
Mini League - 2nd Monday of each month
Senior League - 2nd Tuesday of each month
Little League - 2nd Wednesday of each month
Girls Softball - 2nd Thursday of each month
