Divisions: This spring we will be registering players in Co-Ed Baseball, Girls Softball, and our Challengers Special Needs program.
Please Note When you register your child, you will be offered only the age division as determined by your child’s birthdate, as shown in the list below. But if your child played in a division either above or below their age group in the past, please notify the registrars. We will make any necessary adjustments AFTER registration closes.
Co-ed Baseball (ages 6-18) - 9/1/16-8/31/08. Players must still be in high school and meet minimum skill requirements for safety reasons as determined by coaching staff.
Girls Softball (ages 7-18) - 1/1/10-12/31/07. Players must still be in high school and meet minimum skill requirements for safety reasons as determined by coaching staff.
Co-ed CHALLENGERS (ages 6 and up) - born before 9/1/99-8/31/17. Contact the League Registrar for details on how to register.

Registration Fee: $275 for registrations between February 1st and March 3rd. $350 for registrations after March 3rd.
Note: once a division is full, whether in February or March, registration for that division will be closed, period.
Fees cover most of the cost of player and coach uniforms, team equipment, field maintenance, umpires, administrative expenses including League insurance costs and LL charter fees, and scholarships.

Waitlists: When a division is filled – and only when it is filled – you will be offered the option of a waitlist. There is a $5 fee which is nonrefundable. If a place opens on one of our teams, you will be notified, and waitlist fees will be credited toward the registration fee.

Scholarship: No child will be denied the opportunity to play because of an inability to pay. If a family is unable to shoulder the entire registration fee, scholarships are available for part or all of the registration fee. When possible, families are asked to pay a portion of the fee. If you are requesting a scholarship, please contact the League Registrar BEFORE registering. The Registrar will get back to you.

Refund Policy: A full refund is given when a registered player withdraws for a valid medical reason with an accompanying doctor’s note.
All other requests for a refund will be denied except under special circumstances as determined by League officials. A $25 processing fee will apply to ALL non-medical refunds. After uniforms have been distributed, no refunds will be given for any reason.

Uniforms & Equipment: In the Spring, the League provides full uniform—jersey, pants, socks, and cap.
All players must have their own mitts (WITH THEIR FULL NAME WRITTEN ON IT) and wear appropriate footwear--sneakers or plastic cleats (NO METAL CLEATS).
All male players ages 9 and up are required to wear an athletic supporter with protective cup.
Do NOT bring your own ball to the field. The League provides balls of appropriate hardness for the different age groups.
