About Us

Palisade Little League is a nonprofit youth baseball league. We are committed to ensuring a safe, positive, and cost-effective playing environment for all young baseball and softball players.

Our mission is to encourage the youth of our community to develop qualities of leadership, teamwork, discipline, and commitment. Sports are one of the greatest resources for our youth to have fun and learn many critical life skills. Through competition, we look to inspire our youth to enhance their physical, mental, social, and interpersonal skills.

To achieve this mission, we must have the interest and development of our children at heart. Our primary focus is helping players develop as a person, a teammate, and a player. Team records and other accolades are secondary. By delivering on these principles, we look to attract player and volunteer participation, intending to keep them coming back year after year.
