Even if your child hasn’t participated in the past or is uncertain, bring him or her to the tryouts, to meet the great volunteers and coaches that will help make this a fun season.
The divisions are boys baseball B-league (ages 7-8); boys A-league (ages 9-10); boys Majors (ages 11-12); girls softball Minors (ages 7-9); and girls Majors (ages 10-12.) All ages listed are as of Thursday, May 1, 2014.

Registration closes Tuesday, April 1.
Tryouts are Saturday, March 22, from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the Morrison High School, 643 Genesee Avenue. Tryouts are designed to help the league balance its teams during the subsequent player draft, which promotes competitive parity amongst the teams.

- All registered players who attend tryouts will be placed on a team in his or her division.
