For half a century, the Dos Pueblos Little League (DPLL) has been an integral part of the community and is where thousands of children have learned the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and respect for authority through the fabulous game of baseball. On February 20th, the Goleta City Council issued a proclamation recognizing and congratulating the all-volunteer run non-profit organization for its 50 years of service to the community.

To celebrate this special milestone, a 50th Alumni Anniversary and Fundraiser was held March 2 at UC Santa Barbara’s Corwin Pavillion. The event included a patio reception, music, food and drink, a DPLL Alumni Wall of Fame Gallery, highlight reels and guest speakers. All proceeds went to the league to aid in scholarships, updating equipment and field improvements.

DPLL provides youth athletes ages 4 – 14 with fun and engaging recreational baseball opportunities that foster personal, mental, and physical growth. DPLL proudly supports an inclusive little league experience for everyone, and their Challenger Division provides the same sports opportunities for participants with mental and physical disabilities.

Thank you DPLL for all the great experiences and memories you have created on the ball fields. Cheers to the next 50!
