Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is there a cap on registration fees because I have more than 1 player in my family?

A:  Yes, the cap this year is $410 per family as a max payment regardless of how many players are in your family.

2.  What is the difference between Major 60 and Major 70?

A:  The Major 70 division is intended to be a higher quality of play and competition for 11 and 12 year olds.  This division does require a tryout and coach to pick your child to play for them in a draft that will be announced at a later time.  The Major 60 division is primarily made up of 10 and 11 year olds after a try-out.  The distance of bases is 10 feet closer than the Major 70's level.  If your child is 11 or 12 and they try out for a Major 70's team and do not make it they will be put onto a Major 60's team.

3.  What if I can't make the try-out or I missed the try-out?

A:  We highly encourage players to try and make the Saturday try-out, but we do hold a late try-out option on the Monday and Tuesday following the Saturday try-out.  Please contact Alex.Nelson@kayb.org if you are needing this option.

4.  What does my child need to play?

A:  The league will provide a t-shirt or jersey and hat to wear when playing games.  The parents will need to provide baseball pants, belt, cleats, socks, and a glove.  We highly recommend you wait and hear from your coach what color pants, belt, and socks you should purchase for your child.

5.  What if my child has never played baseball?

A:  This is a no experience needed league.  We will make sure your child has a positive baseball experience regardless if they are new or very experienced at the game.  

6.  What if I can't afford all of the registration cost?

A:  We do our best as a board to set a rate that is reasonable to families but also covers the operating costs of the league.  It requires all of our registration costs in addition to business sponsorships to operate our facility.  We do setup a payment plan option in registration so you can pay smaller amounts each month before the season begins.  You can also email Alex.Nelson@kayb.org for those with a greater hardship and requesting a scholarship.

7.  What are the boundaries to play for KA?

A: Players that live east of Highway 395 and all of Pasco.

8.  When does registration end?

A: We will have two registration windows this season. For our minor and major divisions, registration ends on the day of make up tryouts.  Division coaches will complete a player draft immediately following make up tryouts filling each roster spot.   For our T-Ball and Rookie divisions, registration will end two weeks prior to the first game.
