Dear Plymouth Little League Stakeholders:

As we approach the start of the 2026 season, we’d like to reflect on the past year and share our annual state-of-the-league report, highlighting our achievements, challenges, and vision for the future. The dedication and hard work of our community have made this a remarkable year, and we are eager to build on that momentum.

By nearly every measure, 2025 was the most successful year in league history. On the field, we achieved our highest enrollment in over a decade, with 323 players in the spring, 175 in the summer, and 100 in the fall. All three district teams reached the district finals. We also completed another successful spring season by partnering with the Plympton and Carver Little Leagues. Despite having to cancel our major fundraiser, Opening Day, multiple times, both our revenue and reserves increased. The league remains in a strong financial position, allowing us to reinvest in our programs and facilities. This past year, we replaced the clubhouse roof and fence toppers, rebuilt several pitching mounds, and installed new scoreboards on fields 2 and 3. Looking ahead, we must continue strengthening our financial standing to support long-term capital improvements and uphold the standards our community expects.

This year also brought important changes to our leadership. Our long-serving president, Adam Sheppard, stepped back and we thank him for his passion and dedication to the league.  We now have an entirely new executive board eager to build on past progress. Additionally, our full board comprises 28 dedicated volunteers for the 2026 season. Between the board and coaches, more than 85 individuals volunteered their time to support the league in some capacity.

Our board’s vision centers on three main priorities: increasing participation, improving our fields, and strengthening board organization. With Plymouth’s population now exceeding 70,000, there is significant potential to expand our league and share the love of baseball even further. While participation has grown since 2013, it has remained relatively flat over the past five years. To boost enrollment, we’re focusing on greater community visibility, enhanced marketing efforts, the July 4th Parade, and our inaugural silent auction on March 7th at the Pinehills.

Enhancing both the playing surfaces and surrounding areas will help transform the Manomet Recreation Area into a true destination for families and the broader community. This spring, you’ll notice a newly sided clubhouse, a redesigned snack shack, improved batting cages, upgraded groundskeeping, and enhanced field conditions. These improvements mark just the beginning of our long-term field enhancement plan.

With an organization of our size run entirely by volunteers, structure is crucial for driving efficiency. This means clearly defining roles, filling committee positions, and seeking additional help beyond standard board roles. Our incredible volunteers have already demonstrated their ability to achieve remarkable things. None of our progress would be possible without their dedication.

2026 promises to be an outstanding year for Plymouth Little League, and it’s only the beginning.
