Online Registration for the Spring 2023 season opens December 1st!
Time to get the kiddos signed up for the Spring 2023 season! We are offering online early registration ($5 discount) through December 31, then regular online registration through January 31, 2023; spots available are first come, first serve, and more will open up as we have additional volunteers for the manager (head coach) positions in each division. There may be the opportunity for late registration after January 31 if spots are available. We will only be registering online; documents will be submitted via the registration site or at uniform fittings.
Not sure what league age is? League age for baseball (including tball) is the player's age as of the coming August 31, 2023. For softball, it's the player's age as of December 31, 2022. These ages are a guide for determining what division your child will be in, although there will be times the players do not follow the normal parameters.
As always, we need volunteers to coach the kiddos, including managers (head coaches) and assistant coaches. Volunteer positions are also available for umpires, the concession stand, team parent, and fields/grounds. Please sign up :)

· T-Ball: $100
· Baseball and Softball (all divisions): $125

Registration Details
1) We strongly recommend that you register your player asap, as spots will fill up fast and we’ll move to waiting lists as we work to secure and approve additional managers (head coaches). Please let us know if you’re interested in taking a team!
2) Please email us to request the volunteer application/background check link be sent to you for direct input into the application via the background check provider's site (JD Palantine).For the safety of our players, only approved volunteers are allowed to be on the field and in any other work with the players. While the online registration platform asks for information on volunteers, the link we send must still be completed. A new background check is required for all volunteers at the start of the spring season.
