2010 Registration
Registration for the 2010 Spring Baseball season opens on January 1, 2010 and will remain open until February 28, 2010. Once again we will be using our online registration site http://www.sportssignup.com/Mendon-Junior-Baseball-Online-Registration.start
The earlier people register, the more time we have to choose coaches and prepare for the season. As a way to encourage people to register early we are offering $10 off each registration submitted in January!
Change to a Grade Based “Parent’s Choice” System
Over the last few years, many parents have asked why we have used an April 30th age cut off for our divisions. The answer has always been to be consistent with Little League and many of the other leagues in our region. I have never been comfortable with that “because everyone else does it” type of answer, especially when I would see so many kids with summer birthdays that would not be able to play with their classmates. Of equal concern for me were the kids that would be forced to move up a division because of their age that were not ready to play at a higher level from a skill or ability standpoint. The result in both of these examples was to have kids that were not having fun playing baseball.
At MJB, our number one goal is for kids to have fun so this year we have made some changes that will allow you as the parent to help make that possible…
This year we are introducing what we call a Grade Based Parent’s Choice System for registration. What this means is that our divisions (starting in Single A, Double A, Triple A and Majors) will no longer use a minimum age cut off. Instead they will be aligned to school grade. The parent’s choice aspect of the program is that you as a parent now have the option of when your child should move up to the next division.
| Grade | Default Choice | Optional Choice |
| Pre K (5 by 8/31) | T-Ball | n/a |
| K | Single A | T-Ball |
| 1 | Double A | Single A |
| 2 | Double A | n/a |
| 3 | Triple A | Double A |
| 4 | Triple A | n/a |
| 5 | Majors | Triple A |
| 6* | Majors | n/a |
| 7* | Majors | n/a |
|
* Players cannot turn 13 before 8/31 or play more than two years in the Majors division. |

For example, if you have a 1st grader that is ready to move up to Double A, you can do that regardless of when his/her birthday is during the year. If on the other hand, you have a 5th grader that is not ready to move up to Majors, you can have him/her play another year of Triple A.
The process is simple, just go to our online registration site: http://www.sportssignup.com/Mendon-Junior-Baseball-Online-Registration.start and register as you normally would, inputting your child’s grade in the process. If the grade is K, 1, 3 or 5 you will be given a choice between two divisions. Just chose the one you want from the drop down list.
