One Team. One Little League. One Community.
Message from our Board of Directors
The story of Orchard Park Little League began in 1959, and it is up to all of us to write the next chapter – to create the latest installment in an epic series, every time we play. It is a story that focuses on an authentic, big idea – celebrating all the moments that make playing the games of baseball & softball such a memorable experience. Our story isn’t just of our history; it’s where we go from here. We all share in this story of Orchard Park Little League, and when we add to it, when we make it our own, we make it even better. Because we know that the greatest stories aren’t open and shut. The greatest tales ever told aren’t contained between two covers – they happen on and off the field. So, write your chapter, whether it’s your first or your greatest. The story of Orchard Park Little League belongs to all of us.
Mission Statement
Orchard Park Little League believes in the POWER of youth baseball and softball to teach life lessons that build stronger individuals and communities. Through positive reinforcement, proper guidance and exemplary leadership, we will provide the best atmosphere for our children to learn the skills of baseball and softball while building a ballplayer’s self-esteem and developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being.
About Us
Orchard Park Little League (OPLL) is one of the largest youth baseball/softball organizations in Western New York (WNY), encompassing both house and travel programs. Our house program is home to almost 1,000 boys and girls ranging from Tee Ball to Seniors (ages 4-18). In addition, we also feature over 30 travel baseball and softball teams. The Orchard Park Quakers baseball and Starz softball programs are highly competitive travel teams ranging from ages 8- 15.
OPLL is a not-for-profit and 100% community-based organization governed by a board of directors under the guidance of our League Bylaws. All of our coaches and members of the board of directors serve as volunteers.
We are located at 270 Thorn Ave. in the heart of Orchard Park, NY. The Orchard Park Little League Complex, one of the largest youth baseball/softball facilities in WNY, serves as the home for both our house and travel programs. Our complex features 10 fields including four fields with lights for night games. With multiple 90 ft., 70 ft., and 60 ft. baseball diamonds, four multi-level softball fields, and one fully fenced tee ball field, the complex is large enough to fit the needs of all of our teams. We also feature a large three-lane batting cage, concession stand, handicap accessible bathrooms, and large parking lots. We have plenty of room on our grounds to set up a chair/tent and watch the action on our fields.
Located just minutes from the 219 Thruway Extension and one mile from Highmark Stadium, OPLL is very accessible from all of WNY. With constant field and complex upgrades, OPLL continues to be one of the finest youth baseball/softball organizations in the region.
On behalf of Orchard Park Little League, we welcome you to our complex.
