The LL League is excited to announce it is expanding its social media presence. The league has a long history of using twitter (now X), first tweeting results during the 2015-2016 school year @LancLebLeague. The LL League has recently added an Instagram feed @LancasterLebanonLeague and Facebook page, also using the LancasterLebanonLeague handle. All of these social media feeds can be found on our new Social Media page.

The expanded media presence is fueled largely by student interns at Pequea Valley interested in pursuing careers in digital marketing. Working with PV Associate Athletic Director Amanda Howe, the students will be posting throughout the athletic seasons, highlighting the accomplishments of the athletes, coaches and officials in the LL League, in addition to announcing post season and championship information.

Lancaster-Lebanon League regular season games for the Fall 2023 season wrapped up with the conclusion of week 10 of the football season. Congratulations to the the football section champions, presented by Orthopedic Associates of Lancaster.
