House, 28855 Euclid Ave.
SIGNUPS: Registrations end March 1st. Walk-in registrations will be held
on all Saturdays in February from 10am – 12 Noon at the Provo House
– 28855 Euclid Ave
DIVISIONS: Baseball is offered for boys ages 7–18 and softball, fast-pitch
and coach-pitch, is offered for girls ages 7 -14.
BOY’S NEW CUTOFF DATE: Following Little League’s rule, the new
boy’s cutoff date will be April 30th. The chief reason for the April
30 date is so that most players on a team will spend the majority of the
regular season at the same chronological age as their league age. This means
that some boys who would have been moving up to a new division this year,
may be staying at the same division for another season. Call Mike Fishwick
at 944-2812 and leave a detailed message. Please leave a message if you
have any questions. Send an email to: wickliffebaseballleague@yahoo.com
