It is with deep and profound regret that we announce that Sachem Little League has made a very tough decision. We are closing the league, effective immediately. We apologize very much for the inconvenience this may cause. It is heartbreaking to close a league that has been in existence since 1958 and it was a decision that we did not make lightly.

Unfortunately, registration has been in decline for several years. But this year our numbers were well below half of what they were even last year. We did not have enough players for even two teams in any division, and many divisions did not have enough registrants to field even one team. In addition, aside from a core group of a few volunteers—whom we thank profusely for their service over the years—we simply didn’t have the coordinated help it takes to run a youth sports organization.

The Sachem Little League Board would like to take this opportunity to thank every one for their support through the years and we hope you remember the good times, the smiles on kids’ faces and the friendships made.

Anyone wishing to receive a refund can request one by contacting [email protected]. Please be aware that the refund will be less $10 per registration because of fees we incurred with the payment center that processed your credit card. 

Again we are so sorry that we could no longer be your Little League. 

Sincerely, 

Sachem Little League
