For players in Pre-School thru 5th grade, ages 4-11. The season runs 6 weeks from July 20 through August 28, 2020. Registration typically opens March 1 and closes July 1. The registration fee is $120.

Teams are organized based on such factors as schools and experience level to balance teams; efforts are made to match play-with request, although this is not always possible. Teams are led by a Parent Coach; it is ideal to have 2-3 coaches per team. Please consider coaching and complete Coach Registration.

Basic information by grade/age

As this is a brand-new program, the EBA is working through groupings for the ages, park logistics and which 2-day combination (Monday and Wednesday, or Tuesday and Thursday) each age group will play. After registration closes, updates will be posted to the website in early July.

• Midsummer Evening Baseball is for players in Pre-K thru 5th grade on May 1, 2020
  • Days: Monday and Wednesday, or Tuesday and Thursday to be finalized based on age groups
  • Location: Rotate between the smaller Edina fields
  • Objective and basic structure: Continued exposure to baseball using coach pitched and/or hitting tee games focused on teaching baseball skills and engaging the players.

Midsummer Evening rules will be designed to create a fun and an engaging environment based on grade level.

Equipment

Players will receive a team T-shirt and baseball cap. Players are expected to provide their own baseball pants, baseball glove and wear non-metal cleats or sneakers. While not required, players should begin wearing a protective cup by 9-10. The league provides bats and batting helmets, but players are also welcome to bring their own. Please bring a water bottle and label everything including your player's cap and bat (if you bring one).
