Youth baseball and youth softball players from the ages of 10-12 compete every summer with the hope of getting to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, or Greenville, North Carolina.
The two towns serve as the respective sites of the Little League Baseball World Series and Little League Softball World Series.
Williamsport has hosted baseball's premier youth competition every year since 1947, showcasing such talents as Gary Sheffield (1980), Jason Varitek (1984), Todd Frazier (1998), Bryce Harper (2003), Cody Bellinger (2007) and Mo'ne Davis (2014).
Greenville first hosted youth softball's prime event in 2021. Before being held in North Carolina, the tournament took place in Portland, Oregon, beginning in 1974.
