The initial goal was simple: To make the playing field just a bit leveler for the average child just starting sports and learning the games and to teach the game, sportsmanship and pride of participation. They never intended to cut into anyone’s turf. The y never envisioned that they would be a premier player in the Philadelphia youth sports scene and they never went into the venture thinking to eliminate a league of any kind. They were merely looking to make things better for the average athlete at a couple of youth organizations in the lower northeast section of Philadelphia and to teach kids the sport while just letting them have fun. The history of the Northeast Peanut League can be compared to a snowball rolling down the hill and as it gains momentum it grew increasing larger as it picked up member clubs along the way.

Schedule Changes Each Year league is besieged with requests to move games. To reschedule a game you MUST HAVE LEAGUE APPROVAL. While we try to accomodate due to school/religious functions, a conflict with another league or sport is not an acceptable reason to switch a game. While the league wants these games played there is the issue of referee scheduling. The league will not grant ANY SCHEDULE CHANGE WHICH IS NOT PRESENTED AT LEAST 72 HOURS BEFORE ITS SCHEDULED START. Less than 72 hours prior to a game will come under the Leagues Play or Forfeit rule. Coaches please question your players and get their parents input on whether there are scheduling conflicts. Also, coaches, your appearance at a game IS NOT A REASON TO RESCHEDULE. There should be assistants coaches with ID cards who can fill in in your absence.
THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON that a players name is OMITTED from the program because a coach failed to supply the information prior to the printing deadline. Imagine if a player's parent, grandparent or other family member attending received a program and when looking in it saw the following: XYZ Youth Organization: NO NAMES SUBMITTED. These players deserve to be recognized. Please make sure you hand in you Selection to your Division Director and have the correct spelling. Thank you.
The Northeast Peanut League's philosophy of teaching sportsmanship, fundamentals of the sport, and citizenship has not changed since its inception in 1980.

The Northeast Peanut League is an instructional league, which believes in fairness, having fun, and learning without a "must win at all costs" attitude. The Northeast Peanut League's Board Members put in a lot of time and energy to formulate and evaluate the programs. The members believe it is worth every minute to watch the kids play, learn, socialize, and have fun without stress or abuse
