ICYMI: Registration Open for Waltham Youth Baseball Fall Travel

WALTHAM, MA – Waltham Youth Baseball has opened registration for its 2016 fall travel season, and the deadline to sign up is August 26.

Participants must be age-eligible for next year's spring season, so 10-year-olds who played in the minors last spring will play for the major league team in the fall ahead of playing in the majors this spring.

Games start the week of Labor Day and continue to Halloween, not including playoffs.

The fall season costs $75 per player and includes a uniform and hat. Players who participated in the summer league this year or last year and already have a red shirt and Waltham Youth Baseball hat will have the price reduced to $50.

No registrations or refunds will be allowed after August 26.

The fall program offers two divisions - majors, which are open to players born between May 1, 2004 and April 30, 2006, and minors, which are open to players born between May 1, 2006 and April 30, 2008.

Rookie 8-year-olds and second graders must be able to safely move out of the way of a pitched ball and field fly balls in the outfield.

Registration can be completed online here.

Questions about the fall season should be emailed to Bill Hanley at wybpresident@gmail.com.
