Martinez-Evans Baseball & Softball

Mission Statement

Established in 1967, Martinez-Evans Little League, is a youth sports program under the umbrella of Little League Baseball International and a non-profit organization whose mission is to "promote, develop, supervise, and voluntarily assist in all lawful ways, the interest of those who will participate in Little League Baseball and FastPitch Softball." MELL is located just outside Augusta, GA in Columbia County.

Through proper guidance and exemplary leadership, the Little League program assists children in developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being. By espousing the virtues of character, courage and loyalty, the Little League program is designed to develop superior citizens rather than superior athletes.

Founded in 1939 and granted Federal Charter on July 16, 1964 by unanimous act of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States of America and signed by President Lyndon B.

Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in Little League. After completing a Little League volunteer application and passing a required national background check, parents may become involved in practices, and be eligible as coaches, managers, umpires, local league board members and other volunteer positions within the league.
