2010 URBAN INITIATIVE CHAMPS
The Little League Urban Initiative was created to provide opportunities for communities in metropolitan areas to reap the benefits of having Little League in their neighborhoods. “Beginning in 2004, local leagues participating in the Little League Urban Initiative were invited to the annual Jamboree held on the Little League International complex,” Demiko Ervin, Director of the Little League Urban Initiative, said. “Those events were successful and beneficial for the leagues involved. The primary goals of taking the Jamboree to the state level are to increase the number of youth from Urban Initiative Little Leagues that get to participate in a ‘tournament style’ event, and to better serve Urban Initiative leagues on a state-wide basis by giving local league members, coaches and players a greater chance to network and share ideas with each other.”
The first of the Urban Initiative State Jamborees, sponsored by the Tori Hunter Project, was held in Atlanta, May 28-31, 2010. The Torii Hunter Project, founded by the all-star outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, is a comprehensive, long-term effort to impact youth in need in various parts of the United States. The project has four areas of focus related to youth: Sports, Community, Education, and Wellness. Urban Initiative leagues from the state of Georgia and South Carolina participated. Ultimately, Milford Little League of Marietta, Georgia brought home the banner and tropy. Little League article on Milford's success
