We need your help to build a new backstop!

After 45 years of use, the backstop on field 2 is in need of replacement. In order to upgrade the facility to today’s safety standards the 1974 backstop and dugouts need to be removed and replaced with a new taller, larger, more modern structure.

The new backstop will offer additional safety to players and fans by both reducing the number of foul balls that go over it, but also by offering protection to players from foul balls and overthrows on both fields 1 and 2. The upgraded dugouts will offer better functionality for players and better sight lines for fans.

Our kids deserve this investment after 45 years to bring field 2 up to date.

We are in need of financial donations, as well as service and material donations. Whether you can spare $1 or $1000 or you can only offer your time and labor to help us build it, any help is appreciated.

Outfield (Home Run) sponsorship signs are available for 3 years for $575. These are available to any business or family supporter of the league. If you are interested in one of these signs please contact either Chris Riley or Dave Mantlo. Contact information is available on the leagues website at www.grandmesalittleleague.org

Thank you.

Board of Directors meetings are always open to the public, they occur the second Sunday of each month at 6:00 PM at Grand Mesa Little League.

Interested in Coaching

We will have several open positions for coaches for the Spring 2019 season.  All coaches must be willing to submit to and pass a background check prior to taking the field with the players.  Additionally coaches must attend a pre-season coaches clinic and agree with and comply with the coaches code of conduct.  This is your opportunity to help our youth and make a difference.  Please contact Chris Riley at 970-985-2770  for more information.   Your impact makes a huge difference for the kids and for the league.

These are some tasks that should be done EVERY DAY when you have a game.  If you see that they are not being done, please remind your manager/coach or see a board member.  These tasks need to be done in order to protect our equipment (from weather and theft) and help maintain the fields and complex.

BEFORE THE GAME:

1)  Fields need to be lined and basses need to be set (this is the home teams responsibility, but can be done by both)

AFTER THE GAME:

1)  All lines need to be raked out by the visiting team.

2)  Basses need to be pulled and plugs need to put in their place by the visiting team.

3)  Portable mounds must be removed from the field and stood up against a building or fence in order (both home and visiting team need to make sure this happens).
