All grass fields are closed today, Tues, March 21, 2023, due to weather.

As a general rule of thumb: a) if it is raining, or b) the fields squish when you walk on them, or c) there are puddles of standing water, the field is closed. If it’s the weekend (city offices are closed and not able to provide daily guidance), the city requests we use our best judgement for using natural grass fields after a rain.

On weekdays and weekends, MVLL announces field closures on this website and on our office voicemail 650-961-2065.

We don’t sell candy for a fundraiser. We don’t sell cookie dough or magazines either. We do Hit-a-Thon! Ask family friends and relatives to sponsor your Little Leaguer with a flat donation or a pledge for distance batted. Plus there are individual prizes and a team prize for the most money raised.

Be at McKelvey on Sunday, March 26, 2023 at your team’s designated arrival time for team and individual photos. Every player receives a team and individual picture free of charge by registering online before the event. Be sure to bring a printed copy of the order confirmation (receipt). The confirmation is needed to enter the photo area.
