Scarborough Little League

Since 1955, Scarborough Little League has been a cornerstone of youth sports in our community in Scarborough.

SLL, together with our dedicated families and partnership with the Town of Scarborough, has given generations of children the chance to learn to love the game. Our players build confidence, become better athletes, and develop lifelong friendships on our ballfields in Scarborough. We are entirely volunteer-run and our league now serves more than 500 boys and girls each year across baseball and softball, from ages 4–14, and we will continue to grow. We are proud to carry forward a tradition rooted in teamwork, sportsmanship, and community connection.

Our Mission

Scarborough Little League is dedicated to providing every child the opportunity to play, learn, and grow through baseball and softball. We strive to:

Teach the fundamentals of the game in a supportive and inclusive environment
Promote character, leadership, teamwork, and respect
Keep youth sports accessible and affordable for all families
Strengthen our community through volunteerism and shared commitment to our players

We create a safe, positive environment where young athletes can develop skills, build confidence, and experience the joy of being part of a team.

Peterson Field Lighting Project: A Capital Campaign for the Future

As Scarborough continues to grow, our field availability has not kept pace with the needs of our players. With nearly 60 teams competing for limited space, practice and game schedules have become increasingly constrained. We have had to depend on renting fields outside of town simply to give every child time to play.

For 2026, we are launching a major capital campaign to install lights at Peterson Field.

This project, in collaboration with the Town of Scarborough, means Scarborough Little League will be funding over $100,000 to allow games and practices to continue after sunset. This is a significant milestone that will dramatically expand our usable field time and eases the strain on every team across the league, both baseball and softball. Lighting Peterson Field is the single most impactful investment we can make to ensure Scarborough kids have the space they need for years to come.

How Your Donation Helps Scarborough Kids

Your support directly builds opportunity for local youth. By contributing to the Peterson Field Lighting Project or our annual sponsorship fund, you help:

Create more field time for practices and games
Reduce scheduling bottlenecks caused by limited daylight
Keep programs affordable for families
Ensure Scarborough players can stay in Scarborough to practice and play
Provide a safe, well-maintained environment for young athletes to learn, grow, and thrive

Your donation will help open up more space to play for over 500 Scarborough kids. This coming season, and for many seasons ahead. We cannot do this without the generosity of our community.
