For 2021 Grand Mesa will again offer a double season allowing anyone who wishes to play through the summer to do so at no additional cost.  The 2021 season will start in April (exact date to be announced soon) and we will play into June.  The league will 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.

Grand Mesa High School Baseball League:

The April 2021 High School Baseball League registration will open on 12/18.  There will be 3 (three) HSBL seasons in 2021.  This will be for the April season running from April 5, 2021 to May 1, 2021.  This is NOT CHSAA affiliated, but we will divide teams based on the high school the player attends and keep kids from schools together.  This will be an 8 game per team season played by NFHS rules.

Grand Mesa High School Softball League:

Additionally we will open registration for the new High School Softball League on 12/18.  This league will mirror its baseball counterpart, allowing girls divided by the school they attend to play a spring season.  Players must be 9th-12th grade for the 2020-2021 school year.  All games will be played by high school rules.  The program is a club program and is not CHSAA affiliated.

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).
