The 2023 Little League World Series, which matches up 10 regional champions from the United States and 10 champions from around the globe to compete for the under-12 baseball championship, began on Wednesday, August 16, 2023 at the Little League complex in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The tournament concludes on August 27.
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Teams that stay in the Williamsport complex for the Little League World Series will continue to sleep in single beds in the wake of last year’s incident where a boy seriously injured his head when he fell out of his top bunk.
“Out of an abundance of caution, we placed all beds individually on the floor during last year’s World Series, and in preparation for the 2023 Little League International Tournament, Little League decided to provide its participants with single, one-level beds for all of their player housing at each of its tournament locations, including those in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, where the dormitories can accommodate all 14 single beds,” Little League International said Monday in a statement.
