REGISTER FOR THE 2025 FIELD DRAFT BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 2, 2025.

2025 Field Draft - Youth Baseball / Softball (Fall 2025)

*Registration is open until October, 29, 2024.

The 2025 Field Draft Matrix is posted below and being updated as we get tournament applications and league schedules. Please review the matrix, and let the Team Sports Office know if there are any discrepancies, and we will work to revise it. This schedule is subject to change based on the number of Reciprocal Use Agreements the City of Lincoln has in place to facilitate programs. These agreements must be accommodated first, as well as honoring long-standing tournaments and programs that have developed a historical standing with the City.

Here is the key for the colors on the matrices: Green = Lincoln Parks & Rec. Leagues; Red = Jr. Saltdogs; Blue = Babe Ruth - Cal Ripken; Yellow = Tournaments; Purple = NWU.

Below are additional documents providing information relevant to field use; amenities; tournament procedures; and permits.

*As with the last few seasons, each organization will have to provide insurance documentation (Certificate & Endorsement) listing the City as "Additional Insured / Certificate Holder" with their teams, and any tournaments being organized, that use City fields for play. An agreement similar to that used in the past will also be required of organizations using drafted fields for practices and games.
