Q: Should I register online or in person?
A: Online. It is convenient, fast, and efficient for you. There is nothing extra done in person that is different than online – we still put all of your information into our online system. Once you register online, it will be easier to register for each new season with your previously submitted information.
Q: What division will my player be in?
A: Division is determined by "league age". League age is a little different than actual age. All youth baseball leagues run the same as a school year – starting with fall and ending in spring ball. If your player has a birthday before May 1st of the spring season for that baseball year, then they will play both fall and spring at the age they turn before May 1st of the fall/spring year. If your player has a birthday after May 1st of the baseball year then they play their current age for fall/spring until the next fall season. 4-5 year olds are TBall, 6 year olds are AAA. 7-8 year olds are Rookie. 9-10 year olds are Major 60. 11-12 year olds are Major 70. 13-15 year olds are Babe Ruth. Example. If your player is turning 7 before May 1st of the fall/spring calendar year, then they will play at the Rookie level.
Q: When will I know about my team?
A: After team selection.
Q: What commitment do I have as a parent?
A: Your team Manager may select a Team Mom (or Dad) to help with communication, dugout, and other items. Managers appreciate anyone who can assist with practice, ask your manager if you can help. We also need your help from time to time as volunteers to help keep the park ready for baseball play and will send out notices of park cleanup days.
Q: When are games?
A: Divisions AAA and higher will have 2 games per week – one on a weeknight and one on a Saturday. Weeknight games start at 6:30 and you should be at field by 6 PM. Saturday games times can be anytime between 9 AM and 5 PM – you should arrive 30 minutes prior to your game or as instructed by your Manager. Game time varies – Tball is 1 hour 15 minutes long, AAA is 1 hour 30 minutes, Rookie through Major 70 will not start a new inning after 1 hour 45 minutes. No games during Spring Break.
Tball is only Saturdays at 9 AM.
Q: What is the league refund policy?
A: 100% Refund for any refund requests prior to start of tryouts
50% Refund for refund requests prior to team selection
0% Refund for any refund requested after teams have been selected
