Spring 2025 Registration Information
Spring 2025 registration is open now through February 9, 2025 at 11:59 PM. Information on age, cost, requirements, and how to register is below:
GROUPS: Baseball divisions are based on the following dates of birth:
T-Ball: 9/1/2019 to 4/30/2021
Junior Pony/ Coach Pitch: 9/1/2017 to 8/31/2019
Senior Pony/ Player Pitch: 9/1/2016 to 8/31/2017
Minors: 9/1/2014 to 8/31/2016
Majors: 9/1/2012 to 8/31/2014
Intermediate & Teeners: 9/1/2008 to 8/31/2012
Most players will play in the division corresponding to their age. On rare occasions—based on player safety and skill—exceptions will be made, and a player will be asked to play at a higher or lower division. Division commissioners will consult with the parents/guardians of those players prior to approving the change. During non-tournament play, players who received an exemption to play at a higher division will not be allowed to “play down” at the division/age group they would have played without an exemption. Any temporary “call-up” from a lower division will be discussed and approved by the parents, coaches, and commissioners involved.
REGISTRATION COST:
Tee-ball: $75
Junior Pony/Coach Pitch: $85
Senior Pony/Player Pitch: $85
Minors: $100
Majors: $100
Intermediate & Teeners: $125 (ages 13-18)
To register: Go to www.epyal.com/baseball. If you already have an EPYAL account, click "Login" in the upper right hand corner. If you do not have an EPYAL account, you will need to click "Register" and create an account to see the correct baseball program in your "Available Programs" for your child(ren).
UNIFORMS: Players at all divisions will be provided with a team jersey and team hat. T-ball players will also receive a pair of white pants and baseball socks; all other divisions will need to provide their own white pants and socks.
VOLUNTEER FEE: Two $55.00 volunteer deposit checks will be required per family unless you pay the $110.00 non-volunteer fee at the time of registration. Checks must be made payable to EPYAL and can be turned in at any monthly baseball meeting or to your oldest child’s coach during the first week of practice. To receive your checks back, you are required to volunteer at least two times at the concession stand, field maintenance days, or R&K handout day. Coaches and assistant coaches are exempt from the volunteer deposit but are expected to help during at least one field day. More details about field days will be sent in February 2025.
R&K FUNDRAISER: We will be participating in the R&K sub sale again. All families are required to sell a minimum of 15 subs and/or pretzel sandwiches. If you choose not to participate in the fundraiser, the buyout is $40.00 due at the time of online registration. More details about the R&K fundraiser will be sent once registration is completed.
