East Chatham Little League receives ZERO funding from the county and school board. Our league pays for all the field/building expenses, mowing and utilities at 6 fields: 2 at Pittsboro Elementary, 2 at North Chatham Elementary, Perry Harrison Elementary and Horton Middle School. This is the agreement we have in place with the Board of Education in order to maintain our access to these facilities. Therefore, we want to be transparent with our finances in relation to registration fees.

Listed below are our yearly expenses broken down by category, and our league's operating cost per player for the 2023 spring season was $207. The fall season is not included since it's designed to break even financially. Also not included are large capital expenses like our concrete aprons, scoreboards, and new mowers. As you can see, the league relies heavily on concessions, fundraising, sponsors and donations to make up the difference in this cost, and tries to achieve a surplus in order to fund yearly improvement and expansion projects.

This year we will also be offering softball for the first time which will include additional start-up costs added to the regular operational expenses.  We thank you for your continued support of our league!
