We do not allow players to play up or down a division.

***NEW THIS SEASON***The cost of 10 practice fields is built into your registration fee. Team personnel may only collect maximum $160 from parents for the season. This is approximately $13 - $14 / per player for the season. The $160 is to cover the cost of the team banner ($80 maximum) and team’s snack bar donation ($80 maximum). Any other costs, including purchasing additional practice fields, team sweatshirts, matching bat bags, etc., must be covered through team sponsors or fundraisers. Players are provided with a jersey and visor, the rest of the uniform and personal equipment (socks, belt, bat, glove, helmet) are the responsibility of the parent / guardian.

 

Each Manager is allowed to select 4 options (this includes their own child). Next the manager will be selecting players who participated at our Evaluation Day. After those players are placed, they will select the balance of their team roster in a blind draft. Once a player is selected on a team, they cannot be traded or moved to another team. Request to be placed on the same team "for transportation" will only be honored, if the Manager selected both players as option players. Siblings in the same division will be placed on the same team.

 

Once a player is selected for a team, there will be NO REFUND of registration fees.

 

Registration open now thru January 15th. Some divisions will fill up sooner, so don't wait to register.

Evaluation Day: January 18th (times will be announced after January 8th)
