2023 Boys Little League Baseball & Middle School Baseball Sponsorship Opportunities

Holland Township Recreation is excited to announce we have a revamped Sponsorship Package for the 2023 Little League & Middle School Baseball season!! We are entering into our 16th season this coming year with little league and into our second season with the Baseball Lakeshore Area League. Each season we serve over 300-student athletes that are between the ages of 8 and 15. 

Little League is a program of service to area youth, and a heritage to be carried forward by the parents and volunteers devoted to teaching our children the great game of baseball. Several projects are underway to ensure the current and future success of our program, including our revamped sponsorship opportunities. Ultimately the spirit of generosity and service to youths inspire volunteers and our corporate and local area business sponsors alike. 

As we enter the 2023, our goal is to continue to further enhance the safety, competitiveness, and satisfaction in our little league and middle school baseball program while developing a love for the game of baseball in area youth. It is a large task to keep our youth in safe equipment and provide the funding to make this league a reality. That is where you come in - we would like you to join us in partnership and support to help us provide safety equipment, player equipment, bats, balls and more for our leagues. 

Our league is largely dependent on financial support to supplement costs from donors of every size particularly parents, grandparents, family members, local business and corporate sponsors.
