Inwood Little League provides, for more than 800 kids from ages 5 to 18, the opportunity to learn and have fun
playing the great game of baseball. The League serves children who live in upper Manhattan from
181st Street to 220th Street West of Broadway and from Hillside Avenue to 220th Street East of Broadway.
Our home fields are in Inwood Hill Park. Our older players (13 and up) play some inter-league with teams from
other leagues in District 23 (Manhattan and West Bronx).
In July, our all-star teams participate in the International Little League Tournament. Our teams are often
district champions and our older players have reached the State semifinals numerous times.
We have a separate summer league in which our teams sometimes travel to play in places like New Jersey,
Westchester, Connecticut and Brooklyn.
We also have a separate instructional indoor winter program where a limited number of our younger players
(ages 5 through 11) learn and practice baseball in a local school gym on Saturdays from October to February.
Inwood Little League is the oldest Little League in New York City. It was founded in 1950. Thousands of kids
have gone through our league learning baseball and having fun. Some have gone on to play professionally.
Our most famous player is basketball great, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and this year we are honored to say that
Pedro Alvarez was the second draft pick to go on to play for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The bulk of our income is from registration
fees. Additional
money comes from sponsors, grants and
fund-raising events.
All our managers, coaches and league officials are volunteers.

Become a Sponsor
Suggested benefits for the local Little League to provide to individual team sponsors:
Name of business on uniform: This practice has been in place in Little League Baseball since its
inception in 1939. The name of the business sponsoring the team could be placed on the front or
back of the uniform, or on the caps. Remember, the name of the business must not imply the sale or
use of alcohol or tobacco, or any product or activity not in keeping with Little League's good name.
For example, "Joe's Grocery Store" is acceptable, even if Joe's Grocery Store sells tobacco products.
However, "Joe's Discount Cigarette Outlet" would not be acceptable. Also, the name of the business
must not offend community standards. This is a decision of the local Little League board of directors.
Name of business on fence sign: Many leagues use outfield fence signs to recognize sponsors,
provided the signs are permitted by local laws and ordinances. Remember, the name of the business
must not imply the sale or use of alcohol or tobacco, or any product or activity not in keeping with
Little League's good name. For example, "Joe's Grocery Store" is acceptable, even if Joe's Grocery
Store sells tobacco products. However, "Joe's Discount Cigarette Outlet" would not be acceptable.
Also, the name of the business must not offend community standards. This is a decision of the local
Little League board of directors.
Recognition Day: Some leagues set one day aside to recognize their team sponsors. The President
of a company or local manager, may be asked to throw out a ceremonial first pitch, and invited to
watch a game.
Recognition Plaques or Certificates: Some leagues produce a plaque, with a team photo, in honor
of the team sponsor, a certificate of appreciation. These are often displayed by the sponsor as a
matter of community pride.
Programs and Scorecards: Many leagues produce some kind of program. Recognition of sponsors
in this publication is always useful.
Remember, sponsorship of a team does not give the sponsor any rights in the operation of, or
the outfitting of, any particular team or the league itself.
