MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Delaney Park Little League Families,

 

I am honored to represent our 300+ current families, plus the thousands of past and future families of Delaney Park Little League.  Little League baseball is a unique youth sport that draws neighborhood kids together on the ballfield.  Delaney Park Little League, aligned with Little League International, believes in the power of youth baseball and softball to teach life lessons that build stronger individuals and communities.  My goal is to continue to provide a safe environment, where youth players develop skills, and have fun!  The special environment that the volunteer board and coaches create enables our growth.  Drawing on the experience and efforts of past Presidents and Board of Directors, we will continue to improve this special environment.  The three areas of focus for my term will include fields/facilities, skills development, and board recruitment for tee-ball and rookies parents.  Delaney Park Little League already has a wonderful park that we call home, but we can make it better.  Our players are consistently winning tournaments and improving every day, but we can do more.  And our all-volunteer board has put forth herculean efforts the past few years, but we need to develop the next generation of volunteer leaders.  Similar to many of the schools our children attend, parental involvement is the difference maker. 

 

My family has grown up playing at Delaney Park.  Megan(wife), Ian(13), Finn(10), and Rory(7) are all involved with the league.  My oldest started tee-ball in August 2014.  My first time volunteering was in August 2015 as a tee-ball assistant coach.  Like many of you, I love the game and had to get more involved!  To date, I have managed or coached over 10 teams, including tee-ball, rookies, minors, majors, and intermediate baseball.  I look forward to guiding Delaney Park Little League, alongside you, into Fall 2023 and Spring 2024, which will mark our 70th year!  Go DP!

 

Thank you,

Sean Milligan
