Kensico Baseball is proud to be supporting the participation of our players in a summer baseball/softball programs for players league age 8 through 16.  Players who have participated in this program have consistently had a positive experience, developing new skills and bonding with people in and out of the community who share a love for the game.

The Summer Baseball/Softball programs provide travel players and towns with an organized and highly competitive travel baseball program.  Because of the competitive nature of these programs tryouts may be necessary and teams will be formed based upon the number of registered participants and the availability of coaches.  The summer season will run from late June to early August with games scheduled for multiple days during the week and possible double headers on the weekends.  Participants will play in approximately 15-20 games in a six-week period.  The cost of the program has not been set for the 2013 season however it will be approximately $275 for 12 and under and $350 per player for the 13 and up programs.  Checks will be payable to Kensico Baseball.

All participants must register on-line before Friday May 24th using the link found on the upper right hand corner of this page.
