About Us

Joy League was founded in 1958 by local attorney John J. Smith after his son was cut from little league tryouts. Believing that every child who wants to play baseball should have that opportunity, Smith created a league centered on sportsmanship, friendly competition and having fun while learning the game.

Joy League games are played each Saturday* morning starting April 5 and ending June 14. Practices begin the first weekend in March. During the preseason, teams typically practice twice per week. Once the season begins, most teams will practice once per week.

*Depending upon the number of teams in each age division and the number of makeup games required, there may be occasional weeknight games during the season.
