CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – (CLARKSVILLENOW) Registration for Clarksville Parks & Recreation youth baseball and softball leagues is underway.
Participants can register now through March 26 at the Parks and Recreation office, 102 Public Square, or online at www.cityofclarksville.com/parksrec.
Specific leagues include baseball (ages 9-14), softball (ages 7-10), coach pitch (ages 7-8), T-ball (ages 5-6) and Blastball!® (ages 3-4). All leagues are co-ed, and open to boys and girls.
Blastball!® is a fun alternative to traditional T-ball and uses a “honking” base to entertain younger players, bringing excitement to learning baseball fundamentals. This league concentrates on developing a child’s running, hitting, catching, fielding and throwing skills.
First-time participants must present their birth certificates at the time of registration to verify each child’s age.
The cost to play in any of the Youth Recreation Leagues is $40 per child and includes a team shirt, hat, and medal. Beginning May 1, each team will practice at least once a week. Weekly games begin on June 4 and will be played at the Heritage Park Baseball Complex, 1241 Peachers Mill Road.
Youth leagues rely heavily on the generosity of parents and volunteers to provide coaching support. No experience is required and training will be provided. If interested, please contact the Clarksville Parks and Recreation office.
