REGISTRATION 2010

Fall 2009—Planning is currently underway for the 2010 summer baseball season at Hamlin Park, which will include approximately 700 players participating at 6 different levels (ages 5-18) in the Hamlin Park Baseball Association (HPBA) Program.  As in past years, there continues to be tremendous interest in any openings, and we anticipate high demand for all spots than there are slots available. "Waiting lists” will be developed for each division

2010 Registration Information
HPBA anticipates registering the following number of players. Ages represent the player's age as of August 1, 2010. All numbers are estimates, and do not include additional “wait-list” players:

Fund Raising—Each family is required to participate in the HPBA “Parent Grand Slam Raffle” fundraiser. Each family is required to sell/purchase $50 worth of raffle tickets no matter how many kids you have in the program. The cash prizes are awarded in June. 

Returning Players—HPBA will provide "on-line" registration for 2010 as well as traditional mail-in registration (subject to a nominal fee of $10).  The time frame for this process (all dates subject to change) will be as follows.
