Little League for the younger players

2008 Central Accomack Little League

          Central Accomack Little League, known as C.A.L.L., was started in 1958.  We are celebrating our 50^th Anniversary this year.  When the League was started 50 years ago, they had about 60 players and four teams — the Fireman, Lions, Rotary, and VFW.  Chalmers Horsley, of Onancock, was one of the original coaches of the VFW.  Many other locals helped get the league going and carried the tradition on for many years.

onsists of 30 teams and about 350 players.  We have seven tee ball teams, nine minor, four 9-10 boys, three 11-12 boys, one junior boys, then two 9-10 girls, two 11-12 girls and two junior softball teams. They ages range from 5 years old to 16 years old.  Each team has a manager and a coach, who are all volunteers.  If it wasn’t for the parents that volunteer, it would be very difficult to keep the league operating.

          With the amount of children we have in the League, we are trying hard to keep the facilities up to date and capable of accommodating the children of today.  As most Town residents know, this is the last year C.A.L.L. will be playing at Fireman’s Field.  Because of this, the League is in the process of building new fields, or we should say, a whole new complex. The new complex will be very modern and up to date.  Not only will we have four ball fields, but also a playground and a walking trail that will be open to the public.  Three of the four ball fields will be lit and accommodate night games.  The playgrounds can be used by siblings during games or by anyone out for an afternoon of fun in the sun.  The walking trail will be accessible to everyone and be a good exercise routine for all ages.
