When will baseball start?

Our 2025-2026 season is currently in progress. Registration is closed.
Experienced players wishing to join mid-season (January) may only do so with coach approval in divisions where players are needed.
Inexperienced players must join only at the beginning of the full season for safety and developmental reasons.

Can my child try baseball or softball before we register for the season?

In the past, we have offered a "Knock the Dust off Camp" in the week)s) prior to our season start so that those interested in baseball may try it before registering. This season, we permitted players to "try out" a practice prior to registration (as long as teams had not yet been selected in that division). While we do not know what this will look like for the 2026-2027 season, we will certainly identify the means for those interested to join a camp session or practice prior to signing up.
