Cajon de Oro Little League Dedicates New Field

COMMUNITY LITTLE LEAGUE OPENS STATE OF THE ART ROOKIES/TEE-BALL FIELD
Field constructed in cooperation with Fuerte Recreation Club and Grant Funding
La Mesa, CA, May 22, 2017– Cajon de Oro Little League (CDOLL,) the neighborhood little league serving Mount Helix, Casa de Oro, and El Cajon, announces the grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony at its new Rookies / Tee Ball Field located in the Russell Road neighborhood of Mount Helix.

All community and civic leader members are invited to participate in the ribbon cutting ceremony on
Saturday, June 10 at 3 p.m. The location is Mosher Field at 10400 Russell Road, La Mesa, CA 91941.
“The opportunity to work alongside the Fuerte Recreation Club (FRC) to create this incredible facility
for use by our youngest players has been a collaborative initiative and labor of baseball love,” said Josh Bailey,
President of CDOLL. Backstops, bleachers, fencing, new pavement, a snack bar, and other enhancements have made this the premier facility for Rookies and Tee Ball players aged 4-6. In addition to fundraising, support from the FRC, funding for the facility came from Little League development grants.

“Starting our youngest players on such a facility gives them a sense of pride, community, and a positive
environment to develop as both players and future leaders,” said Mark Kaul, Vice President and Facility
Director of CDOLL. “The field is adjacent to the renown Mosher Field for Little League Minors so the Rookies
and Tee Ballers can also learn from the older players.”

Cajon de Oro Little League celebrated its 60th Season in 2016. The league serves more than 180 youth from

area families. It is an entirely volunteer organization and a non-profit 501(3)c. In addition to recognized Little
League residency boundaries, any students of Avocado Elementary, Fuerte Elementary, Casa de Oro
Elementary, Spring Valley Academy, and Santa Sophia Academy are eligible to play in the league.
