Lakeside Little League serves the beautiful and family-friendly communities of Granite Bay and Loomis. Granite Bay and Loomis are located approximately 20 miles east of Sacramento, California. The league supports approximately 500 players, boys and girls, from "League Ages" 5 - 14. In addition, our Challenger program for players with physical or developmental disabilities is terrific fun for all involved.

Lakeside will be having it's fourth annual Hit-A-Thon on Sunday, April 21st. Every player in Lakeside will be able to compete in the Hit-A-Thon and it is a blast!

Lakeside will be using 99Pledges for people to be able to sponsor a player. Players can be sponsored with a flat donation or per hit.  If a player cannot compete in the event, they can still be sponsored and raise money for Lakeside. There will be awards given to individual players and teams for the most money raised.
