Registration

Spring Baseball Registration is Here!

Registration for the Spring season opened on Friday, November 1, 2024 at 12:00 a.m., midnight. 

The “early bird” discount* from the regular registration fee will be $170 for players ages 6 through 12 and will be in effect from November 1st through December 31, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. The regular registration fee of $220 per player will take effect on January 1, 2025.  Please take advantage of the “early bird” discount to save you money and help VYB to be able to estimate the number of teams in each age division

*FOR RETURNING MAJORS PLAYERS: While your registration will place you back on your Majors team from last season, your spot is not guaranteed if the registration for ages 10-12 reaches its maximum before you take action.

There will be a limited amount of spots in each age division so please register early.  Registration will close on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. or earlier if all of the spots in each age division are filled.  Anyone wanting to register after that date, or when the allotted spots are filled, will be placed on a "wait list" and will only be allowed to complete the registration if there is room in the particular age division. 

The registration fees for the T-Ball Division (ages 4 & 5) will be $110 per player and Babe Ruth Division (ages 13 to 15) will be $145 per player.

Register your player at:  visaliacalripken.com  as you have in the past.  If you did not register/sign up last year with SportsEngine, YOU WILL HAVE TO CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT.  If you did register in 2024 your account should still be active and ready for you to register again.  The website REQUIRES that you upload your player’s Birth Certificate EVERY year so please be prepared to do so when you register.  You will not be able to complete your registration without uploading your player’s Birth Certificate.  

Please remember that your child’s “league age” is their age as of April 30, 2025.  The league policy is that all players must play in the division as per their league age.  Players will not be allowed to move up or down a division.  We have had some instances where parents have altered the player’s birth certificate.  This is illegal and if discovered, that player will be banned from the league.

VYB is looking forward to a fun and exciting Spring season!  Please e-mail any questions to vybpresident@gmail.com .

Ages 4-7 will be assigned a team by their Player Agent.  Special requests for coaches and/or teammates are permitted but not guaranteed.  Ages 8-16 will attend tryouts and the teams will be assigned based on a player draft.

When Will We Hear From Our Coach?
Player drafts and team assignments take place between the last week in January and the first week in February.  You will hear from your coach as soon as those are complete.  VYB will communicate via email with more specific dates as that time nears.
