From glow in the dark jerseys, light up balls and LED bases to separate divisions that allow for kids and adults to play, this fall at Grand Mesa we’re doing something very different and completely focused on fun!

All youth games with divisions running from 4-18 years old will be run on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. But Fridays will be the one of the kind Atomic Kickball. Played in the dark with LED bases and balls, wearing glow in the dark jerseys.

Wednesday nights will also feature family friendly adult games. Bring the kids and play!

For Tuesday and Thursday nights grab 9-11 of your closest colleagues or friends and come play for ultimate bragging rights. These nights will be for adults only and will be a GREAT networking opportunity.

Online Registration is OPEN!  In person registration will be available at Grand Mesa 8/4 and 8/6 from 6-10pm.  We will also offer in person registration at The Dugout Arcade & Cafe at Mesa Mall on Saturday 8/7 from 2-4pm.  Registration forms will also be available at The Dugout from 12pm-6pm Sunday 8/8.  Registration will close on August 18th. The season will start 8/23.

For Kids, registration will be $50 and will include their jersey and 16 games. NO additional equipment will be needed.

For Adults, registration will be $50 per individual or $450 per team and will include their jersey and 12-16 games.

We can’t wait to see everyone back on the field this fall, kicking towards spring, networking, building lasting friendships and having a GREAT time!

For 2022 Grand Mesa will once again offer a double season allowing anyone who wishes to play through the summer to do so at no additional cost.  The 2022 season will start in early April (exact date to be announced soon) and we will play into June.  The league will then take a 2 week All-Star break and then will return after the 4th of July until school starts in August (May not be possible for all divisions).  Going on vacation?  No worries, go on vacation, your child's spot will still be there.  This is offered to be able to provide kids a safe place to play and grow in the sport.

We needed your help to build a new backstop!

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

Today, thanks to numerous sponsors and volunteers especially the Grand Junction Lions Club, Warner Equipment, Girardi's Heavy Haul, Leitner Poma, Western Implement, Brad McCloud, Kurt Sinclair, Jim Hazelhurst and numerous board members and additional volunteers, the need for replacing our aging structure has been realized.  When the season opens the new backstop at 220' long (140' longer than the backstop it replaced) and 34' tall (14' taller than the backstop it replaced) 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.

After 45 years our kids deserved this investment to bring field 2 up to date.

The park is constantly growing and upgrading, so we are still in need of financial donations, as well as donations of time. Whether you can spare $1 or $1000 or you can only offer your time and labor to help us upgrade and maintain the park, 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 Monday 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 2020 season.  All coaches must be willing to submit to and pass a background check prior to taking the field with the players, 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).
