You will notice cost has increased this year for our programs which have league play as the cost of uniforms (jerseys/hats), equipment (baseballs, etc.) and fees (league/umpire) have increased over the last several years.  I am mindful of this and I am closely watching how money is spent with the baseball program.  Over the last few years we have added a batting cage at Wehrs Dam, sheds at Lone Lane and Wehrs Dam and replaced all of the tractors at Parkway Manor, Wehrs Dam and Lone Lane.  Providing a quality baseball program from Tee Ball to Senior Legion is our goal.

A few items of note :

• Capacity limits - once they are met, a waitlist will be created by contacting the Baseball Commissioner at baseball@spya.org.   Once enough players are on the waitlist to create a team, and a head coach has been identified you will be contacted to complete your registration.
• Registration Closing Date - Biddy(9/10) & Midget(11/12) will remain open as space permits until February 24th due to an earlier tryout schedule.  All other programs will remain open until March 17th as capacity permits.
• Tryouts - Biddy and Midget will have tryouts in early March, whille all other levels will be held in late March once the high school roster has been set.  Players must attend independent evaluated tryouts to be eligible for LVL, AL PYL or Connie Mack team selection and are strongly encourage to attend all try out sessions.  Players not selected will be made available for the NL PYL teams, who will build their rosters via a draft.  Players registered will be contacted directly with details of their respective tryout.  There is no additional cost for tryouts at any level.
• Refunds - SPYA has a strict no refund policy, if there is a place for your child to play there will be no refund.
• Tournament Players - we encourage you to play within South Parkland to supplement your tournament season.  To eligible to play within SP, you must try out for the LVL/AL PYL or Jr Connie Mack team at your age level.  If you do not make one of these teams you are not eligible for a NL PYL team.  A partial refund will be determined directly by the Baseball Commissioner, with a max refund of 2/3 of the registration fee.  You will need to provide proof of being roster on the current season of your tournament team along with documented attendance at SP tryouts.
• Residency Requirements - LVL, Connie Mack, and Legion teams have residency requirements based on your home address.  If you do not live within South Parkland territory, you must have been cut or released from your home team to be eligible for South Parkland.  For further information, please contact the Baseball Commissioner at baseball@spya.org
