A Culture of Fun Fuels Success
The 2024 Paseo Verde Little League squad finished the regional tournament undefeated, securing a spot in the Little League World Series for the second time in three years. The victory marks the league’s third state championship since 2022 and underscores a remarkable rebound from the pandemic‑era lows that saw participation dip dramatically.
What sets the program apart is its emphasis on fun and inclusion. Since the COVID shutdown, membership has nearly tripled to over 600 children, with families from Henderson and even Las Vegas rallying behind the team. The league’s philosophy centers on creating memorable experiences for kids and their parents, turning baseball into a community celebration.
Manager Adam Johnson, together with longtime organizer Cory Edwards, has championed a selfless style of play, urging players to prioritize the team over individual glory. Their approach was on display in a tense regional game against Utah, where the squad’s resilience under pressure proved decisive. Henderson mayor Michelle Romero and city councilmember Mike Fairweather have publicly praised the team’s role in fostering youth development, while veteran league figure Bill Senne highlighted the mentorship that underpins the program’s longevity.
Looking ahead, the 2026 roster is already building on this momentum, aiming to extend the five‑year streak that stands as the state’s best run. With continued support from local leaders and a growing base of enthusiastic families, Paseo Verde Little League is poised to keep turning modest fields into stages for unforgettable baseball stories.
