Okeeheelee Baseball is now using SportsEngine for registrations (be on the lookout for our new website).
If you do not already have a SportsEngine account, even if you are NOT new to Okeeheelee, you will be asked to create an account in order to register for the Spring.
NOTE: The Registration link for Sports Connect near the Login button is our old system and will not show any programs for you to register for. Please use the link above to go to Sports Engine's registration.
All players should have their own Glove, Helmet, Bat and Cleats. Okeeheelee Baseball makes it a requirement to wear a cup to all games and practices, this for the safety of our children do not ignore this rule.
Spring will consist of a 12 game season along with playoffs. The primary objective of the Spring Recreational program is to introduce the competitive side of baseball while maintaining a balance of a fair play and team work. The focus is to introduce the skills needed to compete in a competitive environment while keeping the game fun for all who play.
Teams will meet 3 times a week, with at least 1 or 2 games per week and usually 1 practice per week.
Practices start as early as 5:30, games start as early as 6:15 on weekdays and as early as 8:30 on Saturdays.
All games are played at Okeeheelee Park
Evaluations for each division will be held in January and February (see dates below). This will allow us to divide the teams up as equally as possible. It is a simple evaluation of the players ability to throw, catch and hit the ball. The Spring Season will begin in January and will end on or before April 24th, weather permitting.
