Welcome to Augusta Little League!

I'm excited to introduce myself as the new President of the Augusta Little League. My name is Darek Grant and it is an honor to serve. I also want to thank Mike Karagiannes for his 3 years of leadership as President. He weathered us through the fire of the concession stand, the covid pandemic, and our return to some normalcy last year. Please be sure to say thanks as well when you see him at the ball field. 

I am happy to report that Mike will remain on the board as Vice President. I'm also pleased to welcome the rest of our board listed here. We have a great team of leaders and this year promises to be another successful baseball experience for our youth!  

However, we can't do any of this without your help. A priority for the year is to increase the level of volunteerism within the league. Please consider volunteering, no matter how large or small the task. This is your league. Whether it is coaching, helping in concessions, umpiring, announcing a game, lining the field, mowing, or any other task, we welcome your involvement. Please contact me to learn more about the volunteer opportunities and specific needs, or to offer your interest and specialty for service.

For the players, we want this to be a fun and memorable experience. But, it isn’t about going to the field and just playing baseball. It is about learning. As we’ve seen through the Little League experience, the positive growth and development that happens on the field also translates with how the player interacts off the field. Being a good sportsman and a good citizen is just as important as being a good ball player. I look forward to seeing the success of each player this season!

See you at the ball field!

Darek M. Grant
President 
Augusta Little League
