Evaluations & Team Placement: All players (except Coach Pitch) are required to go through a skills evaluation. Evaluation times are listed on the information sheet attached to the registration form. The goal is to have all players evenly distributed between teams to make games as fair and equal as possible. Please know that we will make an effort to honor team requests but we will not honor requests that go against our goal of equal teams.
Coaches Needed: Volunteer coaches are vital to the success of our program. Please consider volunteering as a head or assistant coach. If interested, fill-out the Coach Interest section of the Registration Form. As a coach, only your child is guaranteed to be placed on your team.
Requests from individuals to be placed on a specific team, other than with a sibling, can not be guaranteed.
Fee: $60 for Middleburg Heights Residents and Community Center Members, $70 for all other eligible participants
