The schedule also has the field where the teams will be playing.

We do not require specific baseball pants, but pants are required by all players (no shorts). If a player has shorts on, they will not be able to play until they have the proper attire on.

Cleats are not required, but recommended. No worries if you do not have them.

Please consider helping out the team coach where needed throughout the season.

We will need parent volunteers to help in the snack shack this year. Coaches have been advised to provide a parent volunteer when it is their teams turn for snack shack duty. If you are the volunteer for your team, just head over to the snack shack. Our hope is to have a student volunteer on game days, but sometimes that doesn't work out.

If there are no volunteers, the snack shack will be closed

Be sure to like New Scotland Kiwanis on Facebook. We will be posting any game postponements/cancellations on our page throughout the season. We will also send an email.

Thank you again for signing up to play in our 2024 Kiwanis Baseball season! We hope everyone has a great time playing some baseball! Please reach out to us if you ever have any questions, concerns, or comments.
