Our Mission

Founded in 1955, the Edwardsville/Glen Carbon Little League Association (EGCLLA) is a privately run, non-profit, and volunteer-led organization dedicated to fostering the development of youth through the game of baseball. Our mission is to provide high-quality recreational summer baseball for children ranging from Kindergarten through 12th grade.


Administered by a dedicated volunteer Board of Directors, the EGCLLA is committed to serving the Edwardsville and Glen Carbon communities. We strive to offer a supportive environment that emphasizes sportsmanship, skill development, and community spirit, ensuring a rewarding athletic experience for every participant.
