About The League

City of Angels Little League: A New Chapter in Los Angeles-Area Youth Baseball

City of Angels Little League (CALL) is a relatively new Little League, chartered in the fall of 2001 by Little League of America’s Urban Initiative Program (www.littleleague.org/learn/programs/urbaninitiative.htm) which supports baseball programs for underserved urban communities.

CALL serves girls and boys, between the ages of 5-14, residing within CALL’s boundaries: South of Hollywood Blvd; North of the 10 Freeway; East of La Brea Ave; and West of Vermont Ave.

CALL’s President, Mrs. Lili Bernard Ferguson, founded the league in the fall of 2001 when she discovered that there was no Little League in the mid-Wilshire/Hancock Park/Larchmont area. Mrs. Ferguson had fond memories of playing Little League while growing up in New Jersey, and wanted to provide the same opportunity for her children. Mrs. Ferguson contacted Little League headquarters in Williamsport, PA and satisfied the criteria necessary to establish a charter.

City of Angels Little League has enjoyed tremendous success during its brief history. Both child participation and volunteer enrollment has increased, and the league is working closely with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to build its first home fields.

Competitively, the Major Division (11-12 years old) team won the District 25 Tournament of Champions in June of 2004 and in June of 2005. Our Minor Division (9-10 years old) team won District 25 Tournament of Champions titles in 2006 and 2007. Also in 2007, the Junior All-Stars brought home District and Sectional titles! In 2009, the 11-12 year old all-starts captured the District 25 Championship. The future looks bright!

City of Angels Little League is run by a group of volunteers who are dedicated to community service and providing local youth with a memorable Little League experience rooted in the fundamentals of teamwork and good sportsmanship.
