The Sandlot Baseball League

The 2026 Sandlot League season wraps up next week with our annual Pack the Park games at The Ballparks at Erie. We are looking to fill the stands for all 3 games at 5:30 and 2 games at 6:45, so bring friends, bring family, heck, even yank a complete stranger off the street we promise you and they won’t leave disappointed! Dinger will be there, as well as vendors, concessions, a balloon artist and more!

Come out to see The Sandlot League in action this Thursday evening at Clayton Park, and support the cause that is nearest and dearest to your heart! Ribbons, gear, hats, whatever! Different causes. One community. Let’s goooooooo!!

Gametime is for the kids. Postgame is for the parents.

We teamed up with our friends at Cellar West Brewery to create the Sandlot League L***r.

Available tomorrow, there is a limited run of cans available at both the Erie and Lafayette locations, and it’s also on tap at both.

Come grab a Sandlot League L***r and stick around for a while to try their other amazing brews!

This Is Us: Year 4.

Four years ago, this was one team, 15 kids. A handful of families who came together after seeing a Facebook post that came after a few glasses of w**e. Today, it’s 10 teams, 120 kids. But the numbers don’t tell the whole story.

Because The Sandlot League has become so much more than a baseball league.

It’s a community.

A place where kids get to run the bases, celebrate the little things and big accomplishments, dance between innings, high-five their teammates and laugh beyond the last pitch. A place where nobody has to worry about being “different. Nobody has to explain themselves. Nobody has to apologize for who they are. They just get to be themselves. And in doing that, these kids inspire more people than they probably realize.

They remind us that baseball can be about more than winning. That competition can make room for kindness. That inclusion doesn’t mean making everyone fit the same mold. And that sometimes the greatest victories have nothing to do with the scoreboard.
We’ve watched 15 kids become 120.
We’ve watched teams become friendships.
We’ve watched families become a community.
And every year, we’re reminded that the best part of Sandlot isn’t what happens on the field.
It’s what happens because of it.
None of this happens without the incredible coaches, volunteers and families who show up, cheer louder, help more, and give these kids a place where they belong.

So here’s to Year 4.
To the laughs, the high-fives, the dance breaks, the cheers from the crowd and all the moments we’ll never forget.
Most of all, here’s to every kid who has ever stepped onto these field and reminded us exactly what it means to be yourself.
This is us.
And we’re just getting started

Come on out on September 5th to see the new Berthoud Adaptive Park!

We are incredibly grateful to The DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation and DICK'S Sporting Goods for awarding The Sandlot Baseball League a $10,000 grant!

The Sandlot exists because we believe every kid should have the opportunity to experience the joy of playing baseball, regardless of ability, disability, or the barriers that might otherwise keep them from the field.

That’s why this partnership means so much to us. The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation’s mission to inspire and enable youth sports participation, while breaking down the barriers that keep kids from playing, aligns so closely with what we are trying to build here at The Sandlot.

This $10,000 grant will directly help us continue providing a completely free, adaptive baseball experience for our players and their families. It helps us provide equipment, create an inclusive field environment, support our incredible volunteers and coaches, and most importantly, give more kids the chance to put on a jersey, grab a bat and be part of a team.

DICK’S believes that sports can build confidence, character, connection and lifelong memories. We see that happen at The Sandlot every single week.

Thank you to The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation for believing in what we are doing and investing in these kids. We’re incredibly thankful to have you in our corner.

It takes a village to bring the Sandlot League to life. On top of the players, coaches and volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to make this happen without the incredible support of our sponsors and supporters. If your child plays in The Sandlot League or if you’ve ever enjoyed one of our games, please give them a shout out!
