Spring is around the corner, which means that it’s once again time for families to register their children for one of the most beloved youth sports around.
Saucon Valley is blessed to have two volunteer-run baseball/softball organizations working together to provide kids with opportunities to increase confidence, make friends and learn important team-building skills they will value for life. Hellertown-Lower Saucon Little League offers the opportunity for boys and girls from ages 4 to 14 to play baseball, and Saucon Valley Diamond Sports/HLSLL provides the opportunity for girls in Pre-K and kindergarten through age 20 to play softball in the Eastern Lehigh Valley League.
Most HLSLL/SVDS teams will practice two to three times per week and will start playing games after several weeks of practice.
