FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS : SIGNUPS

When are sign ups?

Sign-ups for Spring baseball are usually between October and December.

For Tee Ball and Machine Pitch we will accept players until all our teams are full, occasionally we may have additional room after sign ups close.  If we are full and you still want to sign up, volunteer to manage a team and we may be able to create more slots for your player.

How much does it cost?

See the "Register Here" tab under REGISTRATION.  Fees for each division are listed there.

I am late, can I still sign up?

 Sign up for the wait list, if there is a cancellation that creates an opening, we may be able to accept a new player late.   Email us and ask if registration is closed.  We will do our best to find an opening at ANLL or point to toward another local program that still has openings for new players.
