Spring Ball

Spring 2026 Baseball Registration

⚾ A Note About Spring Baseball

Spring Baseball is a long season and requires a significant commitment β€” especially in our Player Pitch Divisions.

  • Tryouts begin in March, with practices starting shortly after.

  • Games will begin in April and run through June, followed by a tournament week, and possibly extending into July for players selected to All-Stars.

Families enrolling in Player Pitch divisions should expect baseball 4–5 days per week, Monday through Saturday.
Due to the intensity and time demands, spring baseball is not ideal to combine with other spring sports.

πŸ”” Important: Attendance at practices and games is critical. Teams depend on player commitment to succeed.
πŸ—“οΈ Please avoid planning major vacations in early summer, as players risk missing tournament play and All-Star opportunities.

⚾ Draft Process Notes

Attendance

  • Only Team Managers (Head Coaches) and select Board Members are permitted at the draft.

Manager & Coach Selections

  • Each Team Manager will automatically draft their own player as their first-round pick.

  • Team Managers may select one Assistant Manager prior to the draft. That coach’s player will automatically become the second-round pick. The second assistant coaches will be drafted along with their player during the draft process.

  • Team Mangers will draft in a round robin style process starting with the coach who had the lowest standings in the previous spring/or the coach who is newest to this division.

  • All players who attended tryouts will be drafted first; after that, team managers will draft any register player who did not attend tryouts as a blind pick.

Player Placement Guidelines

League Age 10-Year-Olds

  • Players registered for Majors may be moved down to Minors if they are not drafted by a Majors coach.

  • Players registered for Minors may be drafted up to Majors, even if registered for Minors.

    • ⚠️ If there is a valid safety concern and you do not wish for your player to be drafted up, please notify the league prior to tryouts.

League Age 8-Year-Olds

  • Players who are not drafted to a Minors team will be moved to Coach/Machine Pitch.

Sibling & Household Rules

  • Siblings or players living in the same household will be drafted together and count as two draft picks.

    • If you prefer that siblings not be placed on the same team, please inform the league before tryouts.

Coach & Teammate Requests

  • Coach or teammate requests are not permitted for any player in a Player Pitch division.
