Our Story
Founded over sixty years ago by Norbert Kopekin, William Black, and Wally Beers, the Livonia Junior Athletic League (LJAL) began with a simple mission: to provide sports opportunities for the youth of Livonia. Starting with the Livonia Hawks, the league has expanded to include four units: the Blue Jays, Eagles, Falcons, and Orioles. Today, LJAL offers a variety of sports programs, including basketball, baseball, fast pitch softball, football, cheerleading, and lacrosse, all aimed at fostering citizenship, sportsmanship, and physical development among children.
