IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure fair playing time for all participants, team sizes must be limited. Team placement will be done on a first come-first served basis. A waiting list will be maintained and new teams created if and when possible.

Evaluations for A through AAA

In an attempt to create teams with evenly matched players, the league will conduct MANDATORY player evaluation sessions. Each player will be required to attend at least one session. More information will be sent via email. Evaluations will be at the 5th District Gym on Saturday and Sunday, March 1st and 2nd. On the lookout for an email with more information after you register. The purpose of this evaluation is to create a draft with equitable division of talent to prevent lopsided rosters. We want all of our teams to be competitive. 

Uniforms and Equipment

Each child participating in the program will receive a hat, jersey, belt and socks that they will keep.
Uniforms are non-refundable. Each player is responsible for supplying his or her own white baseball pants.

Volunteers: Fundraising; Snack Shack Scheduling, and Opening Day

This year we are in search of volunteers to help with fundraising, running the schedule for the snack shack at Fifth District, and helping with organizing opening day. The more parents/volunteers we get to take ownership of our baseball league the better the experience is for our athletes. The snack shack and fundraising will help us purchase new equipment, uniforms, and help the league run. Don’t worry if you feel like you don’t have the time, there are many of us pitching in to help! Just a small amount of time and effort makes a huge difference in how our athletes experience this season!
