Youth Baseball/Softball

Each summer, Edinburgh Parks and Recreation offers our Rec League Baseball, Softball and T-Ball. Our Sports Complex has six brick dust covered fields for softball/baseball, a concession stand, bleachers, and a fenced in, covered playground to entertain the younger attendees. Our goal is to give our youngest citizens a place to play safely and learn to work with a team, enjoy healthy competition and work to improve their talents and abilities. With our family friendly facility and our amazing volunteers, we will have everyone singing "take me out to the ball game!"

Registration Information:

Summer Rec League Baseball, Softball, T-Ball, & Midgets registration will be coming up soon! Sign-ups are held at the Edinburgh Park and Recreation Building. Age groups range from 3 to 15 years.

All players and parents/guardians must sign a code of ethics and liability form that is to be adhered to at all times. Our coaches are volunteering their time to help form the next generation of citizen's and must be treated with respect at all times. Players or parents will be asked to leave the park and possibly the team if disrespectful behavior occurs. If this is the case, no refund will be made! Let's all make this a great season together!
