Registration for Spring baseball at Shades Mountain Community Park remains open online (link is on bottom right-hand corner of this page). Onsite registration will be held the next two Saturdays – Jan. 14th and 21st – at Regions Park from 10 a.m. till 3 p.m. both days. Onsite registration is THE BEST time to get questions answered in person and try on uniforms, meet other families etc. We hope to see you there!
The registration fee is once again $185 per child for baseball and $150 for T-ball (ages 4 and 5 only). Non-Hoover residents must pay an additional $50 per child to participate. Registration fees are payable by cash or check. There is a family maximum of $525. Each player will receive a uniform, team trophy and team photo. Games begin in March, and continue through the end of May ending before Memorial Day. Play is focused on fundamentals and development with leagues for each age group from 4-14.
