Registration is now open for the 2024 spring season through Jan. 2024.
Incredible turnout from Ellisville, Moselle, and the surrounding areas last year. 100 more kids signed up to play ball at Merchant Park in 2023 than just 2 years prior (2021).
Sign-ups will continue through January, practices should start around mid-February, and opening day is tentatively scheduled for March 23. Regular season should end in mid-late May.
Looking forward to another fun season!
Pricing:
T-ball (ages 3-4) - $75
12u (ages 11-12) - $75
All other ages (ages 5-10) - $85
Inflation is driving up prices everywhere, but not for us. We are even activating a decrease in registration cost for 12U this year.
If you wonder why the fees for t-ball and 12U are slightly lower:
T-ball - that is the age we want to motivate young kids to come get their start on the field, they don't play quite as many games as older ages, and they don't come with additional costs like umpires.
12U - we want to motivate kids (and parents) to finish out their Dixie Youth careers and play league baseball at the local park through at least age 12 like most of us did as kids. Our 12U league grew last year (as did all age groups), and we want to see it grow even more.
Discount opportunities (promo codes):
Sibling discount - enter promo code SIBLING2024 if you have 2 or more players to sign up for baseball and you'll receive a $10 discount off the total. We want to try and reduce the cost for those who have multiple kids playing in our league.

We welcome those who want to be a head or assistant coach for your child's team, and we couldn't do what we do without our great coaches who give so much time and energy to teach our kids the game. Please select the option to volunteer as a coach during the registration process to be considered as a coach. The main requirements to coach in our league are:
1) clean criminal record
2) love of kids
3) love of baseball
4) patience.
If you are unable to coach, teams can always use additional volunteers. Coaches may need an assistant to fill in as help on certain nights, or they may need help with concession stand, keeping scorebook, manning scoreboard, etc. - please volunteer to help out around the park some if you can do so.
Thank you!
TEAM FORMATION
Teams will be finalized in early February and coaches should be in contact by mid-February.
Age group is based on your child's age as of 5/1/24.
