2018 BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL REGISTRATION
Prettyboy Rec has youth baseball and softball for kids in grades Kindergarten – 9th grade. This is a great opportunity for the kids to develop not only the skills needed for baseball/softball, but a love and understanding of a team sport.
Registration is open from February 1, 2018 through March 11, 2018
Practices will be held 1 to 2 days per week starting April 1st. All practices will be held at Prettyboy Elementary. After regular season games have begun, practice times will change.
Opening Day will be held on April 21st at Seventh District Elementary with team and individual pictures being taken that day (rain or shine). Regular season games begin April 23rd.
Games will be played at Prettyboy, Seventh District, Fifth District and Sparks. Games will typically be held twice per week with weekend games being scheduled as necessary. Depending on registration numbers, there may be regularly scheduled games on Saturday mornings.
Participation trophies are given to Clinic and 1st - 2nd grade teams only. A tournament will conclude the season with trophies awarded to the winners in all age groups 1st - 2nd grade and older. The baseball tournament will be held at Pretty Boy Elementary and the softball tournament will be held at 5th District Elementary.
Each child participating in the program will receive a team shirt and baseball hat/softball visor. Players are responsible for providing their own pants, batting helmet, glove, socks and cups (catchers).
New This Year
- Players playing 7th Grade and up will be required to use the new USA Bat designation. Younger players will not be required to purchase new bats at this time.
