2024 Rec Baseball Season
We're hard at work finding coaches, setting teams, and confirming schedules. The season will start at the end of April. We'll be contacting coaches getting them equipment, uniforms, and rosters. Players can expect to hear from their coaches at that time. Hopefully, each team can figure out a few practices before their first games the first week of May! For most age groups, the season is done by the end of June. Our 7th grade Babe Ruth players will continue their season into July.
