Parent urges Victorville to help investigate Little Ribbons Little League fundraising and uniform issues
Summary
A Victorville parent told the council she paid about $150 per player and alleged uniforms and raffle tickets were mishandled; staff said the matter may lie outside the city's authority but directed her to Community Services for follow-up.
During public comment, Celeste Campos said she is a concerned Victorville parent and seeks transparency and accountability for Little Ribbons Little League finances and treatment of players. Campos said families paid "approximately $150 for registrations" and that uniforms were not distributed until four games into the season. She also alleged donated Dodgers tickets were resold for $75 instead of being distributed to players, and that the league canceled closing ceremonies citing low funds.
City staff responded that while the council values youth sports, the specific financial dispute may not be within the city's jurisdiction. Staff noted the league uses city fields and directed Campos to speak with Community Services Director Donna Meister for next steps and guidance.
No formal investigation or enforcement action was announced during the meeting; staff offered to follow up and referred the speaker to department staff present at the meeting.
