History

Since 1957, Little League baseball has been an important part of our community here in Victoria. Every spring, with the help, generosity and support of parents, volunteers, local sponsors and the City of Victoria, baseball has helped build the character of the youth in our community.

After more than six decades, upwards of 15,000 people have proudly played for Beacon Hill!

Our growth has been gradual. Over time, and particularly since we joined Little League Victoria – District 7 in 2004, we’ve built a strong and passionate organization that supports the values of Little League, promoting activities that reveal character, courage, and loyalty in our players.

Coming soon…

An incomplete listing of major milestones in the history of Beacon Hill is below. Over the coming year, we will be building out a timeline with photos, and we welcome contributions from our alumni players and families to help fill it with memories of their time in Little League. If you have any highlights, memories, or photos to share, please email Mark Wilson at president@beaconhillball.com.
