East Valley Youth Baseball

The East Valley Youth Baseball and Softball league is a supervised program of competitive baseball/softball games for kids aged three to eighteen. This organization is a nonprofit, all volunteer group that operates a large facility in North Hollywood with four grass ball fields, a snack bar, and a parking lot sized for two vehicles per team.

Although the East Valley Baseball is a non-profit operation, the city of Los Angeles has an interest in the program. In fact, the complex has been the target of a few burglaries over the past several years. One of the bigger blunders occurred in October 2011, when thieves made off with a high tech pitching machine and one weed eater. Fortunately, the perpetrators escaped after being detected by the facilities groundskeeper.

In fact, the most recent thefts have prompted the League to take action. Among its many programs, the organization offers a "Rec Center" that features a game room, a gym, and several special events. There is also a lot of space available for the community to gather in. For instance, the facility is the only location that has an outdoor swimming pool.

The East Valley Baseball has a lot to offer the locals and visitors alike. Besides the usual suspects, the club also offers a PONY (Protect Our Nation's Youth) baseball league. In the words of the organization's president, Frank Miceli, the PONY is "a well-organized and exciting program that promotes baseball as a sport for children ages five to thirteen in the City of Los Angeles."

The name of the game at the Sun Valley Sports Complex is a simple and unassuming sign announcing "Sun Valley Community Center." The Center is a great place to go for a little exercise and a good time. Moreover, the Center's staff and volunteers are a friendly lot, and they are always willing to help a fellow resident out. As such, the Center is a welcome addition to the already vibrant neighborhoods of North Hollywood and Sun Valley.

While the organization's marquee item isn't the oldest member, it has been the victim of several property crimes over the past several months. Among the most significant were a large bolt cutter and a power tool snatching in the wee hours of the morning. Another minor crime involved a few stolen baseball bats. On the other hand, the largest theft involved the removal of an expensive pitching machine, a weed eater, and a bunch of gardening tools. All told, the thefts were estimated to be in the thousands. These mishaps were only the beginning. But if the Center is to survive and flourish, it is important to keep it clean and up to date. That's the kind of effort that the aforementioned neophyte could only dream of. So far, they've made a valiant effort to minimize the damage, and hopefully that effort will continue.
