The tradition of San Marino National Little League (“SMNLL”) is to provide a positive youth sports experience for every child regardless of ability. We honor teamwork, sportsmanship and fair play. Our coaches, parents and fans teach these values by example and keep the best interests of every player in mind. Through these actions, we aim to reflect the spirit of our community, create cherished memories and build a foundation for our players' future success. 

For more than 70 years, SMNLL has provided an outstanding program of youth sports instruction to children in our community.  SMNLL was organized and chartered by Little League Baseball Inc. in 1953 and is one of the largest non-profit youth sports programs in our area with more than 500 children participating on nearly 50 teams.  Staffed by volunteers, the league operates baseball and softball programs for boys and girls. The league is completely funded through player registration fees, donations, and sponsorships. We pride ourselves on providing a quality Little League experience for children of all levels of ability. Specifically, our local rules require more balanced playing time between all players. Further, teams in competitive divisions (Farm, Minors, Majors, and Juniors) re-draft teams from scratch each year in an effort to create balanced teams.

Boys and girls 4 through 14 years of age who attend school in San Marino or reside within the city of San Marino and the unincorporated area of San Gabriel that is part of the San Marino School District are eligible to participate in our programs. In addition, the league has collaborated with adjacent leagues who are not fielding softball divisions to ensure that all children in the area have an opportunity to play softball and baseball.
