The 2021 Little League season is underway. District 1 is expecting to play a complete season with all of the tournaments following the regular season. Every league in District 1 has a Safety Plan in place to help players and their families have a fun and safe season. District 1 will follow the guidelines set by the state concerning youth sports and we will work together to make changes if needed.
2020 was a difficult year for everyone. The leagues of District 1 and all of their volunteers did a great job of having some sort of baseball
to help make a difficult year a little more enjoyable for everyone involved, wether it was late summer ball or fall ball.
2019 was a very good year for District 1. Umpire, Dwight Stephens was selected to be an umpire for the West Regional in
San Bernardino, California. He also received the honor of being the home plate umpire for the West Regional Championship Game.
Coon Rapids Andover won the Minnesota State Championship with a victory over Centennial Lakes. They moved on to the Midwest Regional
and defeated Iowa with a dramatic comeback to win the Midwest Region Championship and advance to the Little League World Series!
Coon Rapids Andover was the 7th team from Minnesota to make it to the Little League World Series.
