Those who are 16 or younger by Aug. 31, 2022, are eligible.

League age determines division of play and is based on how old a child will be on Aug. 31, 2022.

• Tee Ball - Players who are league age 4-6 (5 or 6 with 1-year experience can choose Coach Pitch)

• Juniors - Players who are league age 13-14
• Seniors - Players who are league age 15-16

All registrants are placed on a team but Minor, Major, Junior, and Senior Division Players, must try out since a draft system determines team placement. Players will be notified in late February as to the date and time of their tryout. Tryouts are tentatively scheduled for March 5 and 6, 2022. If you register for Tee-Ball Cor oach Pitch, you do not try out and will be notified of team assignment by March 6, 2022.

In-person payments can be made on Friday from 6 p.m.-7 p.m. or Saturday from 10 a.m.-11 a.m. Online registration is available here.

Registration Fees: The fees are comprised of 3 components: 1. a per player registration fee ($125 for Tee-ball; $150 all others); 2. a $75 purchase of 3 - $25 pick 3 fundraiser tickets; (keep or sell your tickets to reduce your fees!) 3. a $100 grounds maintenance fee, applied once per family.

Family discounts will automatically be applied when registering multiple children so that a family pays only one field maintenance fee and at most gets 6 Pick 3 fundraiser tickets. Total fees do not exceed $550 per family, excluding transaction fees and credit card processing fees.

Fees can be paid in installments using a credit card, or in full via credit card, by cash or by check. All cash and check registrants must be paid in full by March 1, 2022. Unpaid registrants in a tryout division may have their registrations canceled.
