If my child will not be 5 until after the May 1st cutoff date, could he still play?
Every opportunity must be given to children of the
correct age to play T-Ball. We do keep a waiting
list from the hotline, e-mail and at registration
for children ‘near’ the cutoff age. If your child
will be 5 before with in a few months of the cut
off date, we will consider them IF there are still
plenty of available slots either just before or
just after tryouts.
Will you call us if they will not get the opportunity to play?
Unfortunately, that is not possible, but the
Hotline and/or website will have messages
concerning which leagues are full.
Can my child “play up”?
For the spring season the answer is no, and this is
because of Dixie Youth requirements and All-stars.
For the fall baseball season there are no all-stars
and a player can be allowed to play-up provided he
possesses the necessary skills.
I’m going to be out-of-town on the day of Registration, what are my options?
There are a couple of options. First, have a
neighbor, friend or other family member sign your
child up. Second, register your child on-line.
Registering on-line can be done from any computer
simply by accessing our website at
www.chaasports.com.
What does the registration fee pay for?
The players uniform, operation of the park,
including umpires, balls, team equipment, including
, catcher’s equipment, brick dust, batting cage
maintenance, Concession fee, $20 dollars in raffle
tickets, etc.
Is the concession fee optional?
No. It once was, but we had such a dependability
problem with scheduling parents that it was decided
to make the fee part of the registration in order
to have the proper staffing during the baseball
season.
Are the raffle tickets optional?
No, this is our major fund-raiser for the season.
We need the full registration fee per child to
successfully run the program. The raffle tickets
are a way for you to off-set $20 of that cost. Many
parents do not like to sell things, but the prizes
are attractive enough so that the tickets are
pretty easy to sell. Parents have the option to
just fill out the raffle tickets if they don’t want
the hassle of dealing with them, which gives you 20
chances at one of the prizes.
When is the raffle drawing?
At approximately noon on Opening Day, where the
teams get to play an abbreviated practice game with
umpires to get them ready for the regular season.
There is a chance of rain or snow on Saturday, will the registration be postponed?
Not unless it gets to the point where it is unsafe
to have people come register. I might point out
that it will be difficult to relay this information
to everyone. About the only way would be the
website or TV, and it would be difficult to get the
information out quickly. Once again we strongly
recommend registering on-line from your home
computer.
