Spring is right around the corner and so are baseball and softball programs at Ireland Youth Sports! We are excited for the upcoming seasons and look forward to your child participating in our programs! 

This year, if you sign up and are selected to be a coach, your child's registration fee for that league will be 50% off. Payment will be needed at the time of registration but 50% will be refunded by the start of the season. 

We will again utilize the online registration procedure. All players will be required to sign up using the online registration process.  To register, please refer to our website www.irelandyouthsports.com. The website includes all necessary information needed for 2026 participation: player registration, medical release, and volunteer & waiver forms. The online registration period starts Sunday, January 25th and will remain open through midnight on Sunday, February 8th. A $10 fee per child will apply for any late signups. Late sign ups will not be accepted after February 15th. 

The registration fees are:
Tator Tots, Boys and Girls Instructional - $40 per player
Boys Pee Wee and Minor League - $60 per player 

Any registrations received after Sunday, February 8th will be assessed a $10 per child late fee. There are no discounts for multiple family participants, but there is a $135 maximum per family.

Fees are used to help IYS with expenses related to insurance, uniforms, balls, equipment, field maintenance (chalk, field dry, fertilizer, rakes, tools), and umpires.  Once again in 2026, the registration fee will also cover concession stand workers.

Season information (rosters, schedules, etc.) will be sent as it is finalized.  Leagues have staggered start and finish dates; therefore, you may be contacted at different times depending on your child’s league. Information will be sent to the email address you provide when signing up online. 

Please see the back of this sheet for important information regarding Little League Age Determination changes.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me or any other board member.
