Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the registration fee?: Spring Registration for the Pee Wee, Tee Ball and Farms is $125 per child, Minors and Majors is $140, Jr and Sr Babe Ruth is $150.

2. When is the season, and on which days are the games and practices played? The Practice Season ("Spring Training") starts in Late March or Early April, depending on weather conditions. The regular season games begin Early April and run through the end of June. We also hold several clinics at an indoor gym during February, which gives the kids a chance to prepare their skills for the season, and gives the coaches a chance to work with the kids early in the year to help them get ready for the season.

Pee Wee/Tee Ball league games are generally played on Monday & Saturday or Wednesday & Saturday . Farms games are on Tuesday and Saturday or Thursday & Saturday . Minors are also on Monday & Saturday or Wednesday & Saturday  Majors play on Tuesday/Saturday  or Thursday/ Saturday. 

3.What does the league supply, and what must I supply for my child? The league provides a Uniform shirt and a Team Cap. You will need to provide a pair of gray baseball pants, glove, helmet. bat and athletic supporter. Though not mandatory, a pair of cleats is also recommended. These items are available at relatively low cost at local sporting goods stores such as Dick's or online.

4.What is involved in the fundraiser? Each child enrolled in our program is required to sell raffal tickets($25 book at $5 each).

5.My child's best friend is also enrolled. Can they be put on the same team? If they are playing in the Pee Wee/Tee Ball or Farms division this can usually be done. Simply make a notation in the "Comments" box on your registration form saying "play with (child's name)". We will make every effort to accommodate your request. In the Minors and higher divisions, players are selected by a draft system. There is no guarantee that we can honor requests in the Minors and Majors.

6. Can my child use his own equipment during games? We supply the balls, and catchers gear. However, your child will bring his own helmet (must be Little League approved) glove and  bat. Wooden bats are not permitted. All bats must be marked USA or be 2 1/4" barrel diameter or less . Since this equipment tends to look very similar, please mark the helmet or bat with your child's name.

7.Must I attend each game? We require that a parent or designated guardian be present at all games and practices, particularly in the Tee Ball and Farms levels.

8.What League events can we expect?: We have a year end picnic and awards ceremony. Every child participating in the Teeball and Farms Division receives a trophy.  

9. I'd like to volunteer my help. What can I do? How do I sign up?: We can use all the help we can get. Team Managers and Coaches are always needed. Strong hands are needed to help prepare the fields for play. Moms may want to volunteer to help with the fundraising or setting up and serving at the Year End Picnic. If you or your employer  would like to contribute to the league as a sponsor, that financial support would be greatly appreciated.
