Tumwater Spring Baseball League

“LET’S PLAY BALL!” Believe it or not, baseball is just around the corner. Tumwater Parks & Recreation’s spring baseball league is open to boys and girls, grades K-5. Out of district players are accepted; however, they will be placed on a wait list and added to teams needing players. The season runs mid-March thru May. This league has three divisions of play; K/1st, 2nd/3rd and 4th/5th. K/1st division is coach pitch for the entire season. 2nd/3rd division begins with coach pitch and progresses to kid pitch. This format significantly increases the hitter’s opportunity to put the ball in play resulting in more defensive opportunities which is fun and exciting for everyone! 4th/5th division will be kid pitch only. Register via www.ci.tumwater.wa.us/baseball. Registration fee includes player uniform (shirt, pants, and hat). Season: Practices begin March 21. Games begin April 18. Season-ending Party at the Park on May 21.

Registration:

Monday - Friday, January 3- February 25 (Uniforms available forsizing in office upon request) Ages: Grades K- 5 Fee: $100 per player through February 25. Late Fee: $110 per player after February 25. Late registrations will be processed only if space is available and assigned to teams/schools needing players.
