Shades Mountain Park will hold registration for Fall Baseball on Saturday, Aug. 14th from 10 a.m. till 3 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 15th from 1-4 p.m. Registration will take place at the park in the SMP Board Room above the main concession stand. We are also hopeful to offer online registration this Fall, but that is not currently available due to a vendor change.
The cost to participate will be $85 per child for Hoover residents. In response to the parent survey from last fall more games (6, up from 4 in 2009) will be offered this Fall, while still offering the chance to learn from Coach Rick Davis and the Hoover High staff through the fundamental clinics. Clinic dates will be Sept. 12, 15 and 19 and games will be played each Sunday from Sept. 26 through Oct. 31. Practices will begin the week of Aug. 28. Play in Fall is focused on fundamentals and development.
