Johnston Little League

Johnston Little League is located in Johnston, Iowa, a Northwest suburb in the Des Moines metropolitan area.  Home to ~650 Little League baseball players, it is one of the largest Little Leagues in the state.  Divisions of play offered include: Big Bats: Designed as an alternative to tee-ball for young players just learning the sport, Big Bats utilized a big red bat and wiffle ball.  Key advantages over tee-ball include lighter bats that are easier for young kids to swing, being able to hit balls pitched by their coaches, and confidence in the field that they won't be hurt by a heavier tee-ball.  Overall, feedback for this division has been very positive as an introduction to the sport of baseball.  Games are limited to 1 hour, and played on Mortgage Producers field sized specifically for this age group.  The season starts a bit later for this age group to avoid cooler spring days, typically running from April 15th - June 15th.
