75 years ago Carl Stotz saw that there was a gap when it came to youth sports; there was no organized youth baseball league for pre-teens.  So, with the help of George and Bert Bebble they organized what would become the first three teams in Little League: Lycoming Dairy, Lundy Lumber, and Jumbo Pretzel.  Now, 75 years later, Little League Baseball and Softball is played in over 80 countries by over 2 million children and Illinois District 13 is proud to be a part of that tradition.

Made up of 13 local leagues, Illinois District 13 serves over 8,000 youth in the Northern Illinois area with baseball programs for youth aged 4 through 18.  Whether your child has never played baseball before, or they are an elite player with years of experience, District 13 and its member leagues have a home for you and your family.
