*REGISTRATION EXTENDED TO FEB 20! 

Due to the inclement weather Saturday, we were not able to hold in-person registrations at the library.  We will update this site if we are able to hold another in-person registration.   

Online registration, however, has been extended through Saturday, Feb. 20 or until all teams have been filled.  If teams are full and you haven’t registered, you can request your child to be placed on a waiting list. 

    Teams are filling up fast, so register today!

    Registration costs:

      Majors/Minors (5-, 6-, 7-, and 8-year-olds: $110 (includes complete uniform and pictures)

      T-Ball (4-year-olds): $60 (includes uniform and pictures)

      There is a $25 discount off the total price if you register two of your children; $30 for registering three children and $35 for registering four children.

       

    *Note: If your child played in the Majors (7- and 8-year-old) division last year, and their coach is returning, your child will automatically be assigned to that coach's team again this year, unless you request otherwise. This does not apply to the Minors or T-Ball divisions or to new incoming Majors players. Please contact us at FTRLbaseball@hotmail.com if you have any questions.

    KIDS PITCHING: A motion to add two innings of kids pitching in the Majors (7/8-year-old) Division was introduced for consideration by the board at the end of the 2009 season and it was announced that we would add kids pitch this year.  

    Since that time, the board has transitioned with several members moving on and new members coming aboard.  As a result, on Feb. 2, the board met and revisited the proposal.  Due to logistical and safety concerns expressed by board members, coaches and parents, the board voted unanimously against adding kids pitch this year. 

    The topic will be revisited again before the 2011 season.  Feel free to contact us at ftrlbaseball@hotmail.com if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions.

      The board is still seeking active members to hold positions, as well as at-large members to help as needed.

      Can YOU step up and donate a few hours a week to helping make the 2010 season our best yet?
