2022 Danvers American Little League Board of Directors

DALL is well positioned for 2022 coming off a historic 2021 season. Healthy participation numbers across the traditional spring, summer sandlot and fall ball seasons combined with record fundraising year has the league in a strong state.

On the field, DALL teams won District 15 titles in the 12-year-old, 10 year-old and 9-old tournaments and strong performances by the 8s and 11s.

As the Board prepares for next season, upgrades have been made by the town and league at Plains Park to Memorial and Brown 1 Fields. Additional plans for upgrades are being discussed by the board.

Be on the lookout for information regarding the Winter Clinic and 2022 Spring registration in the coming weeks! The Winter Clinic will run from early January to late February for players ages 6-12 (2022 Little League age). The 2022 DALL spring season will run April-June with over 200 boys and girls ages 4-12 playing across six divisions.
