Boundry Map - Click here to see our approved boundry.
Little League International approves our boundries as they do for every other Little League program. All-Star eligibility is based on living within the approved boundry. If you live outside of our boundry, you can still play with a waiver but only regular season. So if you live within our boundry and play at any other Little League, you are NOT eligible for All-Stars with that Little League program.

A Little Laguna Background:
Ever wonder why we put so much influence on fundraising? We are a non-profit organization, and part of the largest youth sports program in the world. Little League serves more than 2.5 Million boys and girls in the United States and 83 other countries. There is no funding that comes from Little League International.
Unlike other leagues, our fields are on leased, Navy/Government land. Nueces County and the City of Corpus Christi use this as a basis for providing NO support to our league. No funding for improvements, utilities, lighting, equipment or maintenance. Everything you see at the fields are completed by volunteers and sponsors.
Every year we have tons of maintenance or new projects that need to get done. It always seems that the same 4-6 people do a majority of the work. It is very unfair on those that spend 20-40 hours a week on top of their regular jobs, get very little assistance. Imagine if 20 parents showed up with a weedeater, with 4 on each field that job would get done in less than an hour. Right now it takes about 4 - 6 hours for a couple of our regular volunteers to weedeat the entire ball fields(not including the sidewalks, playground and outer fences).
"The most common thing we hear is nobody asked me to help. My best friend told me once, if you have to ask for my help, then I really didn't want to help anyway. This is your league. Things get done with volunteers and sponsors/donations. I challenge each and every parent that takes the time to read this page, to start volunteering. Not just once but regularly. Bring a friend.
We need lawn mower maintence, painting, weedeating every week, mowing, fence repairs, trash picked up, and emptying the trach cans into the dumpster. Ever wonder which cleaning service cleans the restrooms? WE do. So help as much as you can. When you see something that needs to get done, call me or any other board member and take the lead in getting it done."
...Chuck Daffron, 2011 League President

Help us build the new Concession Stand.
Our current building has structural problems. We need your help to raise enough money to build a new, state of the art building to serve Laguna for the next 50+ years. As always your donations are tax deductible and remember, we get no assistance from the City of Corpus Christi or Nueces County. When you look at those new field being built for National LL and Oso Pony Baseball, remember when we work together, we make Laguna the best Little League program in town.

Thanks again to Texas Roadhouse. They have been a tremedous sponsor over the last several years, not to mention a great place to eat. They donate the hamburgers and it is one of the best fundraisers we do during the season.
Support our sponsors and enjoy a great lunch or dinner. Without the help and assistance of our sponsor, we could not keep the gates open.
