Please read the following information carefully, even if you are a returning team!!

 

  • Registration
    • Opens on February 3 and closes April 21.
    • Registration can now be done online on our district’s website HERE, as well as in person at any Schaumburg Park District Facility starting February 3.
    • If you have issues with the online registration, please call Kevin O’Donnell at 847-534-3991 and registration can be done over the phone.
    • An FAQ/instructions document for online registration is attached to this email.
    • To help captains navigate through the website to find the desired night and league, use the Activity Code when searching for your league.

 

  • Payment
    • There is a minimum payment of $200 due at the time of registration. This non-refundable deposit reserves your spot in the league.
    • Without the submission of at least a minimum payment, your team’s spot will NOT be reserved.
    • Teams that choose this option must pay in full by the April 21st Registration Deadline. Failure to do so will result in your removal from the league.

 

  • Leagues, Divisions, & Prize Money
    • Leagues:
      • Leagues are classified by level of competition:
        • “A” Leagues – For highly competitive teams.

 

        • “B” Leagues – For competitive teams.

 

        • “C” Leagues – For teams that are purely recreational, not intended for high level of competition.

 

        • “D” Leagues (NEW) – For teams that are either new to the game, have previously participated in the "C" league without success, and/or teams focused on enjoying a recreational experience.

 

      • Some leagues may be split into two or more divisions at the Athletic Department’s discretion.
      • All leagues play a 10-game regular season followed by a single elimination playoff. The number of playoff teams will be determined by the final number of teams per league/division.
      • All leagues will have the batter start with a 1-1 count.
      • 12-inch and 14-inch leagues will use a strike mat behind the plate. 16-inch leagues will not.

 

    • Divisions:
      • The Athletic Department reserves the right to move returning teams up or down a level based on their position in the previous Summer season's standings.
      • We will review 2024 returning teams, and work with captains on correct placement if/when needed.
      • Teams who finish the regular season in 1st Place in back-to-back seasons must move up to the next level of competition (Summer and Fall are considered separate seasons from each other).
      • IMPORTANT NOTICE – Teams may NOT share players in the same division. Players may play on more than one team on a night as long as they are in different leagues or divisions.

 

    • Prize Money:
      • ALL leagues and divisions will have prize money for the 1st and 2nd place teams of the regular season, as well as the playoff champion.
      • 1st Place regular season - $400
      • 2nd Place regular season - $225
      • Playoff champion - $275
