To all Coginchaug Little League families – we hope you are staying safe during this unprecedented time. While official league activities remain suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, the necessary work of planning for the spring season continues. At this time, we have set a tentative date of Saturday May 16 for Opening Day, which is seven weeks away. Fields are being rolled, rosters and schedules are being compiled, and uniforms soon must be ordered as inventory dwindles.

We nevertheless will continue to adhere to the dictates of Little League International and the State of Connecticut, which could result in the cancellation of the upcoming season. This is an ever-changing situation, and the reality is that both governmental officials and medical professionals do not know where we will be seven weeks from now or what protocols will be in place. While we remain optimistic about the possibility of a spring season, Coginchaug Little League will always be guided by the safety and well-being of our players and our community.

We will continue to update you on any developments. We thank you for your support and understanding during this challenging time, and we wish you all the best in the days and weeks ahead.

Opening Day ceremonies have tentatively been rescheduled for Sat May 16.

In the event of rain, the festivities will be held on Sun May 17.

In light of recent events, Coginchaug Little League has extended the submission period for scholarship applications.

Each year, CLL awards up to two $500 scholarships to graduating high school seniors that are CLL alumni and are bound for college or trade school in the fall. To be considered, applicants must submit a completed application, available here, by April 30, 2020. Applicants must also be present at Opening Day ceremonies, where they will be recognized as recipients of a 2020 Coginchaug Little League scholarship.

In accordance with the latest Little League International guidance, all Coginchaug Little League operations will remain suspended until May 11th at the earliest. The fields will remain closed during this time.

We hope to resume baseball, softball, and T-Ball programs as soon as possible, but our paramount concern remains the safety and well-being of our players and our community.

Effective immediately, Coginchaug Little League is temporarily suspending all operations until no earlier than April 6, in accordance with Little League International protocols. All clinics, tryouts, and other league activities during the interim are hereby cancelled. 

We hope to resume baseball, softball, and T-Ball programs this spring, but our paramount concern remains the safety and well-being of our players and our community.

As we continue to plan for the upcoming season, we need to know how many coaches we have this spring. If you are interested in serving as a manager or assistant coach for one of our baseball, softball, or T-Ball teams and have not already done so, please email and we will send you a volunteer form to complete.

Registration remains open for our Spring T-Ball program. To register your son or daughter now, click here

T-Ball is a beginner program for boys and girls ages 4-6 designed to provide an introduction to baseball and softball fundamentals. The aim is to develop basic skills while having fun and staying active.

Players will be assigned to coed teams that begin play after Opening Day on April 25th. Games are twice per week in Durham by Allyn Brook Park and run through mid-June.

If you have any questions, please contact T-Ball Director

Registration remains open for our Spring 2020 T-Ball, softball, and baseball programs. A description of each program is available when you click the REGISTER ONLINE tab on the league website:
