HISTORY
The EDCO League was formed over 75 years ago in Eastern Delaware County along the MacDade Boulevard corridor. Over the years the league has grown covering all four corners of the county. In 2019, MN Recreation (mnrecreation.myrec.com) took over the administration of the league covering all tasks like scheduling and website, which enabled us to keep the team league fees very low at $100 per team. Rules (available upon request) were made very user friendly in terms of rosters and adding players with some playoff eligibility game requirements. The league’s official name was changed for the 2020 season and new teams were added as well as some teams sat out the 2020 COVID Season. Tri-County Umpires and Frank Gorgone were added in 2020 and have been great ambassadors for the newly named league.
