Canyon Lake Little League season a go

BY Ariana Shah

With COVID-19 wiping out most sports for almost a year, The Canyon Lake Little League has decided to move forward with a 2021 season, with games beginning April 10. The league is accepting signups and encourages youth ages 4-14 to register.

Registration is now open and can be completed online through the Canyon Lake Little League website.

Because this season is impacted by the circumstances of COVID-19, registration fees will be discounted. Those already registered will be refunded the difference, league officials said. The season was doubtful until Little League presidents in District 28 voted for a season.

Canyon Lake Little League games are played at Gault Field near the North Gate Entrance. The season has been authorized and signup registrations are being accepted at the league’s website. Tryouts are scheduled for March 6. Photo provided by Canyon Lake Property Owners Association.

Evaluations (tryouts) will be held on March 6. These evaluations are required for divisions AA through Juniors (league age 8 years old and above). League age is calculated with Aug. 3 being the cutoff.

The Little League provides a  scholarship program that grants financial assistance to children who otherwise would not participate in the league. Scholarships are only available to cover the cost of league fees. Those in need of financial assistance can apply for either a full or partial scholarship.

The Canyon Lake Little League has been established since 1996 and remains an excellent way for Canyon Lake children to form unique friendships through sports and allow them to develop great sportsmanship.

“For now, the kids are practicing, and it’s going great! We are so excited and optimistic for this season.” Tiffany White, manager of the Canyon Lake Little League Facebook page, said. “We’ve had a lot of players, all ages, but we are always looking for more to join our little family.”
