Montalvo Little League Baseball (MLL)Everything to know about the Montalvo Little League (MLL) is right here on this page. MLL is an officially sanctioned league of Little Leauge Baseball. It's a baseball league for boys and girls ages 5 - 14 who live in and around the Montalvo Little League district boundaries (see below) that plays between the months of March through June, with All-Stars extending the time of play for certain select players for at least one tournament and maybe more. For the 12 & Under (11 & 12 only) all-star team and the 13-14 year old all-star team this could culminate as late as August if they were to qualify for the Little League World Series.

If you're looking for answers to questions like these: High School Baseball in the Area Fortunately for you, if this is your league and you want to hit better than you do now or need more personalized instruction than your team coaches can give you you have Andy Collins, the Internet Hitting Coach, available to you. He lives in Ventura and has a batting cage at his house (fortunately for you, right across the street from Montalvo Little League) or you can work out right at the local parks. Phone: (805) 642-5827 Coach Andy also works with Little League age pitchers establishing proper throwing mechanics for acurate and safe throwing. Only fast balls and change ups are taught along with pitch location and the mental aspects of pitching for the more advanced players. Phone: (805) 642-5827 Coach Andy Collins has taught many of the top catchers in the area. Many of whom have gone to college on scholarships. His top students have been All-League in High School, have caught for teams participating in national tournaments, with one acheiving 3-time All-National honors. And all of them that work with him for any length of time make the league all-stars for the surrounding leagues, as well. Phone: (805) 642-5827 High School Baseball in the Area Three of the local high schools benefit the most from the Montalvo Little League program. They are Buena High and Ventura High which are public schools, and St. Bonaventure, which is private. Each of these schools have Varsity and Junior Varsity and Freshman baseball teams. If you want to play baseball in high school, but want to attend one of the other high schools in the area, such as Foothill, Pacific or El Camino, you need to go to the school who's district you're in and sign up to play with them. (These are different districts than the one for Montalvo.) This is a perfectly legitimate way to extend the love of baseball you received from Montalvo Little League Baseball. Ventura College is the only college within Ventura to have a baseball program. They are a junior (2 year) college. Recently, they've had a number of successful years winning their league. In a 50 mile radius there are Oxnard, Moorpark and Santa Barbara city colleges (junior colleges) and University of California, Santa Barbara and California State University, Northridge that play Division I college baseball and California Lutheran University that plays Division II. Westmont College in Monteceito plays in the NAIA. The other colleges in that same area don't sponsor baseball teams. The closest batting cage is Who's on First at 961 N Rice Ave. in Oxnard. phone: (805) 485-4001. They specialize in baseball and slo-pitch softball.
