To register, go to northsidecalripken.org. Payment
may be made by mail or in person if necessary; however, registration is not complete until we receive your payment (*details
below). See below to determine the right division for your child. We require that
families register their children for their appropriate division based upon the
birth date ranges that are specified. Exceptions will be handled on a
case-by-case basis. Registration deadline
is February 1st (if paying by mail, then must be postmarked
by January 31st) for reduced fee.
We will accept registrations after February 1st if
space is available, but the fee for some divisions will be increased. All cash or check payments
are due by no later than January 31, 2017.
Any “pay in person” registration for which payment has not been received
by January 31st will be deleted from our online registration system.
Players ages 8-15 also have an option
to try out for a tournament/travel team at additional cost.
In an effort to keep the T-ball teams to a manageable
size, we are offering a free T-ball registration for any child if his or
her parent agrees to coach a team (1 free T-ball player per family). Please
note your T-ball player’s name on your coaching application. This is on a
first come, first served basis. Those not initially selected will be placed
on a waiting list until all teams are formed.

as low as possible, making Northside & Lane Baseball the best deal in
town. Your registration fees help, but
don’t fully cover the costs associated with running our leagues. Volunteer efforts, sponsors, and fundraising
events help defray registration costs and we rely on the dedication of many
volunteers to make our league affordable and fun.
Prospective
coaches are asked to fill out and submit a Coach Application, which is located
on our website. Applications may be
mailed to PO Box address listed above or emailed to us. Other volunteer opportunities will be
available during the season and the process for signing up will be communicated
at a later date.
