2010 Registration Information FAQ
Q: When do I register?
A: Registration begins in late November and runs through early February for all recreational leagues. Select or Competitive teams that are formed via tryouts are usually required to register earlier.
Q: How do I register?
A: Most families choose to use our easy on-line registration, however you can also print out the registration form and return via US Mail. SBSA also typically holds an in-person registration sometime during the month of January.
Q: If I want to mail in my registration and check, where should I send it?
A: Make all checks payable to SBSA and mail to:
SBSA
P.O. Box 42585
Cincinnati, OH 45242
Q: I missed registration, can I sign up late?
A: Late registrations will be accepted on a case by case basis, based on the number of players per team in that division at the end of registration. Please note that if your late registration is accepted, there is a late registration fee.
Q: How do I know you received my registration online?
A: With on-line registration, you will receive an email from our web site with a receipt and confirmation of your registration. If you do not get an email, then this indicates that a problem occurred and your child is not registered. You should log back into your personal account on the web site and this will tell you what division your child is registered for.
Q: Why do we register players so early?
A: Our league registration numbers determine the number of coaches we must recruit, uniforms we must order, amount of new equipment we must purchase, and the number of practice and playing fields we must reserve. This all takes time and is done strictly by volunteers.
Q. What are the fees for baseball?
A: The Instructional league cost is $60 and the cost for all lower level leagues (Beginning Baseball, D-1, and D-2) is $80. The registration cost for all upper level leagues (C-1, C-2, B-1, B-2, A-1, A-2, and AA) is $125 to help offset the cost of additional games, tournaments, better equipment, and more field time. Costs for Competitive teams will vary but will generally be in the range of $200 - $500 total depending on a variety of items such as uniform cost, tournament costs, umpire fees, etc.....
Q. What are the fees for softball?
A: The registration cost for all lower level leagues (8 & under, 10 & under, and 12 & under) is $80. Players are charged $85 for all upper level leagues (14 & under and high school leagues). Costs for Competitive and All Star teams will vary but will generally be in the range of $150 - $300 total depending on a variety of items such as uniform cost, tournament costs, umpire fees, etc.....
Q: Is there a late fee?
A: The late fee is $20 and will be collected on any registration between 2/16/2010 and 3/1/2010.
Q: Do you offer a family discount?
A: Yes, SBSA will reduce the registration payment by $40 for the 3rd child and $40 for the 4th child for a single family. This includes both baseball and softball. Our online registration vendor precludes us from offering discounts for 5th, 6th, etc .... children in a single family.
Q. Can I get a refund if I register my child for an SBSA team and then change my mind?
A. While refunds will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, our general rule is that you are entitled to a 100% refund up until the time when uniforms are ordered (generally late February or early March). Once the uniforms are ordered, you are only entitled to a 50% refund.
Q. Who do I contact if I have questions regarding registration or understanding the on-line registration?
A: Andy Fredette is the SBSA registration coordinator so feel free to contact Andy at
if you have any questions regarding registration.
