Who We Are:

Skokie Indians Little League, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2007, is a no-cut league in which all players make a team and play in every game. The league is chartered by Little League Baseball, Inc., of Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

Skokie Indians is the official Little League affiliate for Skokie and Evanston, but we welcome enthusiastic players from all surrounding communities.

During the 2006 season, over 750 players participated in the League's activities. Boys and girls ages 5 through 15 played baseball in six "house" leagues from mid-April through late June. After June, Skokie Indians also offers traveling all star teams, summer leagues and fall leagues.

 

League Philosophy:

   Skokie Indians Little League is an instructional league committed to teaching the fundamentals of baseball while fostering the qualities of leadership and citizenship in our players. The League believes in good competition within a framework of fair play and team spirit. The League does not subscribe to the philosophy of winning at all costs. In fact, League rules are made to provide good competition while encouraging personal development–both physical and emotional. Our goal is to have our players finish the season happy and fulfilled. We wish our players to have experienced the thrills of competitive baseball while learning the meaning of being a productive supportive team member.

Organizational Structure:

Skokie Indians Little League is a not-for-profit organization run by volunteers. The organization is supervised by a Board of Directors who meet monthly throughout the year. The Board President and Directors are elected annually. The operation of Skokie Indians Little League is the primary responsibility for the Board of Directors, including finances, scheduling, arranging fields and permits, conducting evaluations and team assignments.
