Registration for 2008

Registration continues via mail for:
11/12 National League - open

Other leagues are full for this year.

Please do both the following:

E-mail your child's name, your name, your phone number, the league you want to play in to Nancy Lyons at nlyons@barr.com.  This will expedite getting you placed on a team.
Then follow-up by mailing the items below (failure to do so may result in your child being removed from the team until this has been done):
  • Two copies of the 2008 Registration Form
  • Registration Fee (see chart below)
  • A $100 Volunteer Deposit check for each player
    • Failure to include this deposit check will result in you child's registration being held up until the check is provided.  This check will only be cashed should the volunteer requirement not be met, therefore this needs to be a separate check.  The volunteer requirement is met by working at the concession stand or other requests during games and tournaments.
  • If we have not recorded that you have provided a birth certificate in the past a photo-copy of that as well

For ALL registrations, we will be collecting Volunteer (Concession Stand) deposit checks.  A separate check for $100 for volunteer hours is required for each player. Failure to include this deposit check will result in you child's registration being held up until the check is provided.  This check will only be cashed should the volunteer requirement not be met, therefore this needs to be a separate check.  The volunteer requirement is met by working at the concession stand or other requests during games and tournaments.

American League and Traveling players must register in person

B.P.A.A. Baseball

Team Formation Policies

Team Formation information is found in the BPBA Team Formation Policy found on the Rules webpage.

To call out a few things

  • If your child is registering for the National League (NL) and wants to play with a friend, both players must list each other on the registration form. Only those who have listed each other are guaranteed to be on the same team and players may only list one friend and that friend must also list them. For example, Bobby lists Jimmy and Jimmy lists Bobby. Bobby and Jimmy will be placed on the same NL team.

  • You may request that your child NOT be placed on a particular coach’s team, but you cannot request to be ON a particular coach’s team.

  • Because of the draft process for American and Traveling League teams, no preferences are allowed.

Questions you don't see answered here?

Come ask them in person at one of the registration dates or a monthly association meeting.  As volunteers for baseball and other sports and community organizations, the leaders of Brooklyn Park Baseball are not able to address every issue e-mailed to them outside of these meetings.  Face to face, interactive discussions provide for a much better understanding of all side of an issue and also therefore better resolution of most issues.
