Previous Survey

Important Information
For financial assistance for registration fees, Dick’s Sporting Goods has a program which can cover part or all your registration fees. Information and an application can be found at https://everykidsports.org/every-kid-sports-pass/ If your application is accepted, you will be given a Visa debit card which can only be used for a youth sports registration. Limited, partial scholarships are also available through the league if you do not qualify for Sports Matter.
Winter Wiffleball
The inaugural winter Wiffleball season is here. It runs 6 weeks starting in November, running through the middle of December, with no games the week of Thanksgiving. Teams will be made up of 5-6 players each.
This is purely for fun. While we will keep score of each game, we will not keep standings, no playoffs, no tournaments, just a fun filled, 6-game season. This is essentially just an opportunity for kids to work on the hand-eye coordination needed for baseball and other sports. It will be indoors, at HitStreak, and essentially treated like practice. While a parent can stick around during the games, this is not meant to be a spectator event.
There will be two divisions, dividing it up based on the ages who register, essentially a younger half and older half. We will have 4 teams per division. Currently it is only on Tuesday evenings. If popular enough, we may add an additional evening.
Games will be 40 minutes long, with as many innings as we can get in. We won’t start a new inning after the 40-minute mark. They will be once a week for 6 weeks. The younger division’s games will be at 5:00 and 5:45, with the older division’s games being at 6:30 and 7:15.
The cost is $120 for the season, essentially $20 per game. Players need no equipment, as it's Wiffleball and we will provide the bats, bases, balls, etc.
There are no coaches, just players playing. There will be one all-time pitcher/umpire for each game. Go to the registration tab to register for this season.
