San Mateo Little League

San Mateo Little League was founded in 1967.  Offering baseball and softball to children ages 4-16. Starting out with only 8 teams back in the late 60’s, it has now grown to nearly 35 teams, serving approx 350 families. 

The park that San Mateo Little League utilizes, is owned by the city of Jacksonville.  Due to budgets, the parks and recreation departments only have limited financial capabilities for each of their parks, leaving much to be desired at times, in regards to maintenance and improvements.

We were very fortunate this past year to have been awarded a playground for the smaller children, but there is so much more needed to keep our park thriving!! And most importantly, a safe place for kids within our community to be able to play the best game on earth!

Little League Baseball and softball not only teaches the game, our coaches pride themselves on teaching life lessons! After all, Character, Courage & Loyalty is Little Leagues motto!

We are in need of a complete field overhaul on our Major Field. Estimates have been upwards of $40k.  Each field needs new scoreboards. With four fields, thats roughly $10k.  Our softball players would like a pitching/batting cage, so they can continue to grow their game, and we are looking at $20k with the concrete and netting.  And thats just scratching the surface. The existing dugouts are 50 yr old. The fencing needs to be replaced in places. Safety netting would be a huge benefit. And almost all fields need new sod or grass of some sort.

Every little bit helps! And we are so extremely grateful for any help we receive.
