Registration will close for baseball ages 9-12 on Sunday, February 19 at Midnight. All other registrations will be open until March 18, 2012.
New this year is an option for 5-6 year old Coach Pitch baseball. This age group is Co-ed and is designed to help older 5 year olds and 6 year olds learn to hit a moving ball and to help them prepare to move to a Machine Pitch League at age 7. Since we are allowing 4 year olds to play Tee Ball this also helps protect our early beginners from the "big kids" that are 6! We understand that there can be a BIG difference in that age gap and we believe this will help greatly.
Since we have combined the two leagues (East and Southeast) we will be drafting for teams for the baseball divisions for ages 9-12. ALL PLAYERS IN THIS AGE GROUP WILL ENTER THE DRAFT this year.
The tryouts for baseball ages 9-12 will be Tuesday, Feb. 21; Thursday, Feb. 23 and a make up try out on Saturday, Feb. 25. The draft will occur on Sunday, Feb. 26. All players will be contacted by their coach the following week and practice will begin the first week of March. If a player fails to show up for tryouts his/her name will be pulled from a hat at the end of the draft and placed in order after the last player is selected.
In our younger divisions we always seem to be working right up till the last minute getting coaches to volunteer. Please know that as soon as your child is assigned a coach, you will get a phone call or email from him or her.
Opening day for all ages will be Monday, April 2 and all play is scheduled to be complete by May 11 with the Post Season Tournaments happening the following 2 weeks. Our goal is to have all play complete before Memorial Day Weekend.
Click the "Register Now" button at the top of the page to register now! . If you have any questions please email them to us at info@shreveportlittleleague.com.
* BCI Fee: These
funds will be directed for the sole use of updating and maintaining the
ballpark. Please note that unlike many ballparks in the area, we do not
recieve assistance from the city or Parish to help maintain the park.
Last year we were able to completely rebuild two of the baseball fields
using registration funds and donations. This year we intend to move
towards overhauling more fields and we are needing to replace and purchase other capital equipment to maintain the work that has already been done.
Things to know about coming to the ballpark:
>No pets are allowed inside the main gates. (Surprising, we have a problem with this.)
> No tobacco products (of ANY kind) are allowed to be used inside the main gates (The Parking Lot is INSIDE the main gate).
> Please no outside food or drinks other than water are allowed in the ballpark.
> The concession stand will be open for the duration of the games.
