Below is important information about the upcoming 2009 seasons at Midway Park. Please continue to check here for details as they develop.
Online Registration!
Online registration is available this year. We have contracted with Online Boosters (Suburban Skies - a local company) to manage our registration and on-line payment.
Pricing:
Pricing is $145 for the first child, $110 for each additional child.
BASEBALL
Control Dates for Baseball (4 yr old age group)
There is a special control date for children within Forsyth County this year. If your child turns 5 by 9/1/2009; they are eligible to play within the 5 year old baseball league at Midway Park. Yet, they will need to be less than 6 yrs old on the control date of 5/1/2009. For example, if your child is 4 now, but will turn 5 on July 1, 2009; they are eligible to play in the 5 yr old age group. Yet, if your child is 6 as of 5/1/2009; then they will need to play in the 6 yr old age group.
We created a special season called 4 Year Old Baseball, which will actually place your child in the 5 Year Old age group when you register.
So, if your child's 5th birthday is between May 2 and September 1, they will register in the 4-Year Old Baseball season.
Control Dates for Baseball (5 and above)
The age group that you will select for your child to play within will depend upon the age of your child as of 5/1/2009. So, for example, if your child was born on 4/20/2003; they would be qualified to play in the 6 yr old age group.
SOFTBALL
Control Dates for Softball (5 and above)
The age group that you will select for your child to play within will depend upon the age of your child as of 1/1/2009. So, for example, if your child was born on 4/20/2001; they would be qualified to play in the 7 yr old Softball age group.
Changes to 7 and 8 yr old Softball Leagues
Softball will separate 7 yr old and 8 yr old leagues this year instead of being combined as they have been in years past.
Control Dates for Softball (4 yr old)
There is a special control date for 5 yr old children within Forsyth County this year. If your child turns 5 by 9/1/2009; they are eligible to play softball as a 5 year old in the softball league at Midway Park. Yet, they will need to be less than 7 yrs old as of the control date of 1/1/2009 to play in the Softball 5/6 yr old league.
We created a special season called 4 Year Old Softball, which will actually place your child in the 5-6 Year Old age group when you register.
