During its nearly 80 years of existence, Little League has seen more than 40 million honored graduates, including political leaders, professional athletes, award-winning artists, and a variety of other influential members of society. Each year, millions of people follow the hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship that Little Leaguers display at the seven baseball and softball World Series events, the premier tournaments in youth sports.

There are 16 Little League Districts in Virginia. Each District has completed it’s District Tournaments where the most outstanding players from each League were selected to compete in their District Tournament. Each of those District Champions will compete at Starkey Park to determine the Virginia Little League Major Champion.
