Building the future of baseball and softball together

The Dutch Little League Championship is where young talent comes together, grows and dreams of the highest level. That is only possible thanks to volunteers, registration fees and partners who want to invest in the sport and in young people.

Our partners

They make the championship possible

These partners support the tournament. You can see what they contribute on the field and on this site.

KNBSB

Main partner

The federation behind the championship

The Royal Dutch Baseball and Softball Federation (KNBSB) is the national federation for baseball and softball. In the Netherlands, Little League was introduced under the banner of the KNBSB. The clubs our players come from are its members.

As main partner, the federation supports the tournament in many ways. The tournament office uses the KNBSB address in Nieuwegein, the pools are drawn at the federation office and the federation's integrity manager works with our confidential contact person. That is how the championship connects to the rest of Dutch baseball and softball.

Forelle

Ball sponsor

The championship's balls, year after year

Forelle has been the ball sponsor of the Dutch Little League Championship for years. Every game is played with Forelle balls: the same quality on every field, for every team and for the umpires.

Good equipment is no luxury at a youth tournament. It keeps the level of play even and gives players the feeling that it is the real thing. That Forelle chooses this year after year says something about how the company sees youth sport.

Kobalt Digital

Digital partner

The website and the app behind the championship

Kobalt Digital, a development club from Alkmaar, built this website and the app the regions use to register players, submit selections and arrange accreditations. What went back and forth in Excel files for years now lives in one place.

Everything is open source; the foundation owns it and will continue to do so. Kobalt was already at home in baseball and softball as main sponsor of Baseball/Softball Against Cancer and sponsor of TeamNL Softball U15. It carries that on at the championship.

What a partner contributes

Partners contribute to the fields, the equipment and the umpires.

What a partner gets in return is agreed per partnership. We keep it simple: no advertising banners between playing children, but a visible and tidy place on this site, in the programme booklet and at the venues. Support in kind is as welcome as a financial contribution.
