CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Registration for the Clarksville Parks + Recreation Youth Baseball and Softball Recreation Leagues is under way.

Participants can register now through Monday, March 27 at any of our three recreation centers, the Parks + Recreation office, as well as online at www.cityofclarksville.com/parksrec.

Recreation leagues offered include Baseball (ages 9-14), Softball (ages 7-10), Coach Pitch (ages 7-8), T-ball (ages 5-6) and Blastball® (ages 3-4). Blastball® is a fun alternative to traditional t-ball and uses a “honking” base to entertain younger players, bringing excitement to learning the 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 Monday, May 1, each team will practice at least once a week. When games begin the week of Monday, June 5, teams will have one practice a week and one game a week. All games will be played at the Heritage Park Baseball Complex, 1241 Peachers Mill Road.

City 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, contact the Clarksville Parks + Recreation office.
