Little League is the trusted entry point into not just the game of baseball and softball, but to the entire youth sports experience for families around the world. To increase access into our program, and to all youth sports, we need to be innovative and collaborative in the ways we reach those children, their families, and their support systems, how we identify the barriers of entry these children are truly facing, and then how we work together to start removing these barriers. After another incredible Aspen Institute Sports & Society #ProjectPlay Summit, we have the momentum to move forward, as we collaborate with our great partners across the industry to drive to our collective goal of raising youth sports participation in the United States to 63% of all kids by 2030. As part of this year's summit, Little League President and CEO, Patrick Wilson, joined fellow leaders in this movement to kickstart these efforts. We are looking forward to working together to achieve this goal, which includes amplifying our partners at ESPN's Take Back Sports efforts this summer, and finding even more ways to support and grow Little League and youth sports in our communities.

Baseball is thriving down under, and we were grateful to spend a few days with our friends at Baseball Australia in Sydney. ⚾ 🇦🇺   Little League executives Elizabeth DiLullo Brown and Daniel Velte connected key Little League and baseball advocates across Australia at BaseballCon, sharing updates from the organization and learning about the unique opportunities our state representatives face in growing baseball for girls and boys throughout the country. We are grateful for our long-standing partnership with Baseball Australia and the work they do to bring the game to youth, with a special thanks to David Hynes AM, President of the Board; Glenn Williams OLY, President and CEO; Melissa Achten MBA, Growth and Experience Manager; Michael Ibbotson, National Tournaments Manager; and David Hayes, Little League District Administrator.   Since 2013, Australia has been a fixture at the #LLWS, and we're looking forward to four new teams representing the Australia Region on the diamond this summer!
