Superior Little League Field Receives Major Upgrade from Arizona Diamondbacks

May 22, 2026

For the 2026 season, the Kendrick Family Field Program, in partnership with the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation, supported Superior Little League by fully funding and implementing a new scoreboard and field improvements, resulting in a rehabilitated, high-quality facility for the community to enjoy. The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new field was held last month.

Over the past 25 years, the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation has built or refurbished 46 baseball and softball fields across the state, resulting in more than $10 million worth of community investments. Fields typically receive new lights, a branded electronic scoreboard, new fencing and backstops, new irrigation and new grass and dirt. Additional support is often provided by various local contractors and businesses.

Superior Little League, with 12 teams for the 2025 season, received premium jerseys and hats at no cost through the D-backs’ Give Back Youth Jersey Program.
