Important Dates
Coronavirus/COVID-19 Update - Based on a recommendation from Little League International (https://www.littleleague.org/news/recommended-temporary-suspension-of-little-league-activities/), discussions with the Mahaska County Little League Board, and discussions with the Pella Youth Softball and Baseball Board we have decided to postpone all league activity that may involve the gathering of individuals for games, practices, events, or meetings until May 11th, 2020. We are looking for creative ways (e.g. online draft for majors and minors team) to be as prepared as possible to be ready to proceed with the season when we feel it is appropriate. If anyone has any questions, please contact Preston Rhamy (President of Pella Youth Sofball and Baseball) by text or calling at 641-780-8860.
2020 online registration via Active is open and runs through the dates listed below. In 2020 we will not be accepting mailed in paper registrations. If you have any concerns about paper registrations please send an email to info@pellalittleleague.com or call or text Preston Rhamy at (641) 780-8860. Coach Pitch (ages 5 & 6) registration closes - Friday 4-17-2020
