Join us in creating a premier multi-diamond complex
Building the Future of Barrier Islands Little League
Overview
Barrier Islands Little League is launching a multi-diamond complex capital campaign with a base goal of $350,000 and a challenge goal of $14,000,000. With the support of families, passionate fans, community advocates, and the greater Charleston area, we will build a premier youth baseball and softball facility at 1075 Main Rd., Johns Island.
The Need
Expanding and improving our fields is essential to:
- Reduce scheduling conflicts for players, coaches, and parents
- Designate specific baseball and softball fields for better accessibility and safety
- Increase field availability from 3 to 7, providing more space for teams
- Host divisional, state, and regional tournaments
- Allow for more practice opportunities throughout the week
The Plan
We will construct a state-of-the-art, lighted multi-diamond complex featuring:
- (2) 60’ fields with 220’ fences
- (2) 90’ fields with 300’ fences
- Indoor batting cages and bullpen areas
- Bleachers, digital scoreboards, fencing, dugouts
- Concession & restroom facilities
- Ample parking
- Ages 5 to 21 | Baseball & Softball
This project is more than just adding fields—it’s about investing in the future of youth baseball and softball. It will alleviate game-day congestion, create more practice opportunities, and drive economic impact in Johns Island through tournaments and seasonal play. It’s time to meet the growing needs of our league and community!
