Did you know that according to GoDog stats for 2025, Vienna viewers per game were 23% higher than the GoDog average across US!

GoDog added even more viewing features for 2026 that include Live DVR (rewind up to 2 min of game) and OnDemand game access will increase from 10 days to 30 days. 

You can access the GoDog streaming services or learn how to stream games on the streaming instructions page.


Youth & Adult Umpires Wanted

Vienna Little League (VLL) is looking for youth and adult umpires for the upcoming spring baseball season.

If you’re 13 or older, this is a great opportunity to stay involved in America’s pastime, give back to the game, and earn some extra money. 
Umpire fees are typically $40-$55 per game, depending on level.

Umpiring Little League baseball is rewarding, builds confidence and leadership, and is a great way to be part of the VLL community.

Save a Date for VLL Opening Day on April 11

Save a date to join us for the Opening Day on Saturday, April 11 at George C. Yeonas Park (1319 Ross Drive SW)!

This annual event officially kicks off the 75th spring season, and it's our only all-league gathering of the year.

All managers, coaches, players, families, sponsors, alumni, and community members are invited!


75th Season Calculation

We’ve gotten a few questions about how this year can be 
Vienna Little League’s 75th season when the league was founded in 1952 — so we wanted to explain the math!

The key is that we count seasons, not just years passed.

  • The first season was played in 1952.

  • That means 1952 is counted as Season 1, not Season 0.

  • Each year after that adds one more season.

So the count looks like this:

  • 1952 = Season 1; 1953 = Season 2…

  • 2026 = Season 75

Even though there are 74 years between 1952 and 2026, the starting year itself counts as the first season — which is why this year is correctly our 75th season, not the 74th.

We’re proud to celebrate 75 seasons of baseball, community, and memories with all of you. Thank you for being part of Vienna Little League’s history — and for helping us build the next 75 seasons together!
