Huntington Valley Little League is a non-profit charitable organization whose mission is to provide a safe, instructional, and fun environment for the children of Huntington Beach, California. Chartered under the umbrella of Little League International, Inc., and Little League District 62 of Southern California, we share a mission to "promote, develop, supervise, and voluntarily assist in all lawful ways, the interest of those who will participate in Little League Baseball."
Our non-profit organization operates as an all-volunteer program. As such, we rely on the support of our network of families and local businesses, as well as corporate and community sponsors.
HVLL offers the following baseball programs:

Neither score nor standings are recorded, and there are no playoffs. Lower Tee-Ball players will hit off a stationary tee for the entire season, while Upper Tee-Ball players will hit off a stationary tee for the first half of the season and face live pitching from coaches during the second half.
