Welcome to Golden Valley Little League

GVLL is moving from SportsEngine to Sports Connect!

The move is underway, so please be patient as we transition to a new website provider. Given our affiliation with Little League International, beginning in 2025, each Little League chartered league will be required to use Sports Connect to manage registration and player data. This will be a requirement and a non-negotiable for all chartered leagues.


We will be using the Sports Connect website for our entire 2025 season, beginning with our Baseball School registration that will launch in January.

Please continue to use the SportsEngine site for the 2024 Fall Ball Season.


A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO LAND O' FROST!

Another Fall ball season in the books!

More than 70 players in and around the Golden Valley community participated in Fall ball this year. We had 6 teams, 2 at each age group, and we partnered with Hopkins Area Little League (HALL) to have a fun five-week season with some incredible weather! 

Thanks to Land O' Frost and all the players, parents, volunteers, umpires and HALL for making this fall ball season possible! We couldn't do it without each and every one of you!
