Kaneland Youth Softball Little League (KYSLL) is a volunteer youth program that provides quality softball programs to girls between the ages of 6 and 16. Our goal is to provide a safe, fun and enriching environment that helps builds confidence by teaching fundamentals, promoting teamwork and sportsmanship.
Kaneland Youth Softball was originally part of Elburn Youth Baseball and Softball. In 2013 softball became its own organization and joined Little e League. It was joined by Softball teams from Maple Park, Kaneville and has since expanded to include Sugar Grove and now serves all communities in the Kaneland School District.
Kaneland Youth Softball is affiliated with Little League Softball® and we are part of Little League District 13. As part of Little League we are able to offer the girls a chance to play against a variety of teams in our area and gives the opportunity to participate in various area tournaments.
Little League Softball® was established in 1974 and today 360,000 athletes participate on more than 24,000 softball teams in over 20 countries. Softball initially began with only two divisions, Little League® and Big League, but now offers programs for girls ages 4 through 18. Every year, local Little Leagues enroll players within their boundaries to create teams and play a regular season against neighboring communities. In June, leagues have the opportunity to select and enter all-star teams to compete in the Little League International Tournament.
Little League Softball currently operates seven tournament divisions as part of the International Tournament where teams must play to advance through District, Section, State, Region and World Series tournaments. Four divisions culminate at a Softball World Series where athletes will make lasting memories, create life-long friendships, compete against the best teams from nine US and International regions and one league will be crowned World Champions. In addition to each World Series championship televised on ESPN’s family of networks, the Little League, Senior League and Big League semi-finals are also broadcasted.
