Bethlehem Little League

We have a long history and has been a place for so many familys to call home for many generations. Many wonderful people have played and volunteered here and made this place so special. We play baseball at Johnson Elementary, also known formaly as Bethlehem Elementary, We have been a chartered Member of Little League Baseball since 1960. We have a rich history here at Bethlehem, with generations o

f excellent volunteers, coaches, and ballplayers. We reside in a historically rich baseball area, which benefited the league greatly. The league was unique, it was successful. In early 2000's the area and competition for ballplayers changed. In this very competitive baseball area we suffered for not adapting to the changing geographic and new expanding options for baseball in the area. In the last couple of years their has been a change within the league. The right pieces are coming together at the right time. People who played here have come back. New and energetic members have breathed new life into a league that has been so important to so many for a long time. Our League is a Chartered Member of Little League Inc. and we have over 75 yrs of tried, tested and proven safety measures, core values and life lessons to back us. Little League is the largest youth organization in the world. The other Non-Little League options in the area do not have the 75 years of acquired knowledge that Little League provides. Little League offers boys and girls ages 4- 18yrs old the ability to play baseball and softball. Also 10-18yrs olds get a chance at competing in the Little League World Series. Tournaments start at a district level with winners moving to State level. Winners of State goes on to Southeast Region. Winner from there goes onto "The Little League World Series". Little League offers a experience that is unmatched by any other youth organization. Babe Ruth, DIxie, Pony and others cant duplicate what Little League has built. We play in District 5 and for last several years we have seen our neighbors compete on ESPN and come just a few outs away from LLWS. This area has the potential, our boundary includes 13 Elementary,4 middle and 3 High schools in Henrico Co. We want our league to be what it is designed to be, a place for family's to enjoy a experience that will last for a lifetime. The stories you make today can be told forever. The feeling of being apart of something that represents good and wholesome is important for any child to know and feel. Our goal for Bethlehem is to be a place for familys to have a safe and impactful environment to have as their own. Where friends can be made and relationships that will last. The ballplayers here can make their own history, the future is up to us. I want to invite anybody new to the league to consider coming to this league.

Also if your child goes to a school that is within our boundaries then they are eligible to play even if your residence may not be within boundary.
