Spring Registration
Registration for the 2012 Spring Babe Ruth and Little League Baseball & Softball season is open. We are processing all of our registrations on-line this upcoming season. Please click on the below link to access our on-line registration.
Fees Explained:
$5.00 Lawrence Twp. Fee: All Youth Sports Organizations in Lawrence Township are required by ordinance to pay $5.00 per player back to Lawrence Township for field maintenance.
$10.00 Chevy Fundraising Fee: All players will be required to purchase $10.00 in Chevy Raffle Tickets when they register. Around Opening Day, all players will receive 10 Chevy raffle tickets to sell for $1.00 /piece. The family then keeps the $10.00 they collect from selling the tickets. If you want to sell 1 ticket for $10.00, then be our guest. It does not really matter how you sell them.
$100.00 Little League Baseball WorkBond: All families within Little league Baseball will be required to submit a $100.00 work bond check at the time that uniforms are delivered. In an effort to try and increase volunteer participation within our organization this has become a necessity. Each family will be required to put in volunteer time throughout the season. If the volunteer obligation is met, the workbond check will be shredded. If the volunteer obligation is not met by the end of the regular season (6/15/2012), the workbond check will be deposited. Examples of volunteer help needed will be:
* Preparing the fields in the spring for the Season
* Assisting with Scoreboard duty during the games
* Helping at a 50/50 or merchandise table during special events
* Rostered Manager or Coach during the season
* Team Administrator
Specific details regarding the WorkBond Program will be available as we get closer to the start of the season.
