Baseball

Baseball is offered to players who are Little League age of 7 through 16 according to the Little League Age Chart. For the 2024 season, these are players born before September 1, 2017 and after August 31, 2007.  

  • All parents are expected to help out with their child’s team in any of several ways:
    • Field preparation – raking before or after the game or lining the field
  • Coaching - You probably know more than you think and we may need you to be the adult in the dugout (required by rule).
  • Managing – Need to coordinate the volunteers and initiate updates to the families
  • Umpiring – Maybe officiate another game so you can watch your child play.
  • Concession stand – Every team must send at least one adult to the concession stand to work from the first pitch until the last of the team sodas have been consumed.


All volunteers who have ongoing contact with the players must satisfactorily complete a background check annually.  The application for this may be completed when registering as a volunteer.
