Tumwater Baseball League

"PLAY BALL!" Believe it or not, baseball is just around the corner. Tumwater Parks & Recreation is offering a spring baseball league with two divisions of play for grades K/1st and 2nd/3rd. Registrations take place in January and our season runs from mid-March through the end of May. All players will be outfitted with complete uniforms to include a jersey, hat, and pants.

K/1st division is coach pitch for the entire season. The 2nd/3rd division begins the season with coach pitch and progresses to kid pitch for the remainder of the season. 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! Parent Info Sheet

Sign ups: Monday-Friday, January 3 - 31
Date: Saturday, January 28 – 10:00am to noon
(Uniforms available for sizing at registration)   
Location: Tumwater City Hall
Ages: Grades K-3rd
Fee: $75 thru Jan 31
$85 after Jan 31 providing space is still available on teams.

Parents, this league simply cannot operate without your involvement. 

So here is your opportunity to get involved as a coach and create a positive experience for the youth of this community.  Volunteer coaches are needed! League registration packets and Coach's packets are available online (link below) or at Tumwater City Hall.
