REGISTRATION FEES

No Hidden Fees, No Surprises

What will it cost to register for your child to play?

Per Player Registration Fee:  $80 to $125 depending on division
  - Running a safe, educational, recreational youth baseball and softball league gets more expensive every year.  The price of insurance, uniforms, baseballs, softballs, bats, safety equipment, and even the special diamond mix used for the fields goes up every year.  As a non-profit youth organization our goal is not to make a profit, it is to provide a safe, affordable program for the boys and girls of our community.  We set our registration fees based on the projected cost to run the programs.  As the players get older the cost of running the program goes up and therefore the registration fee goes up.
  - We ask local and national businesses to sponsor our programs and our teams to help reduce the out of pocket expense to the participants.  You will see these sponsors listed as part of your team name, displayed on our website, and even on signs around the fields.  Through the generosity of these businesses the cost of the programs to each individual participant is able to be reduced.  Please consider supporting these sponsors whenever you can, without them the cost of our programs would be significantly higher.
  - We offer an optional fundraising program that will allow you to recoup up to $100 per player by selling 20 $5 lottery tickets.  If you choose to participate you will keep the money you collect, up to $100 per player, and only return the ticket stubs.  This can effectively reduce your out of pocket expenses significantly.


NO Per Family Volunteer Deposit: 
 - UPDATE FOR 2024 - In 2023 we scheduled a team to be responsible for working in the snack stand and it worked great.  Because of this success, we have eliminated the volunteer deposit fee and will schedule teams to work in the snack stand.  This is how it works, during each time slot we will schedule a team to work in the snack stand.  We will need 2 parents or adult (16+) family member to arrive at the snack stand 20 - 30 minutes before the game starts and work in the stand for the duration of the game.  Your team may be scheduled for more than 1 game.  You will be provided with a discount code to save $25 off of the following spring season registration. 
 
None of our board member or coaches are paid, they volunteer their time so we can provide an affordable youth sports program that benefits the boys and girls of our community.  In order to continue to keep prices affordable for everyone we need your help.  If you are able to donate just a little bit of your time each year it helps us keep the programs affordable.  In exchange for your time, you will receive a credit for the following season.  


Registration Service Charge:  $3.00 per transaction
  -  Unfortunately this one is out of our hands, our website provider charges $3 per transaction plus standard credit card service fees.  The league absorbs the credit card service fees but we do not have an option to eliminate the transaction fee.  Think of it like a convenience fee charged when you purchase tickets to a football game or a movie theater.  That $3 service fee goes directly to the website provider.

Family Maximum: $350 Division Fees
  -
The family maximum applies to immediate family members that reside in the same household.  The family maximum cannot be used to register extended family members such as cousins that do not reside at the same physical address.  To be eligible, participants from the same household must all be registered during early bird or regular registration and must register under the same family website account.  Late registrants are not eligible for the Family Maximum discount.



Cheektowaga Youth Baseball Division Descriptions

First-time ballplayers ages 3-4 learn hitting and fielding fundamentals in a supportive team environment. Young athletes hit the ball from a batting tee which is height-adjusted for a level swing, batting in order through the line-up for the entire game. The primary goal is to begin to instruct young players in the fundamentals of baseball in a supportive team environment.  Players may begin to transition to coach pitch as they gain confidence and skill during the season.

Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in this introductory level of Baseball.  After completing a Volunteer Application, passing a required background check, and attending a free certification program parents may become involved in practices, and be eligible as coaches, managers, umpires, and league board members.

5-6 Coach Pitch

Ballplayers ages 5 and 6 will learn hitting and fielding fundamentals in a supportive team environment. Young athletes hit the ball from an underhand pitch from the coach intended to allow for a level swing to helping them to learn good batting mechanics and improve their hand/eye coordination i preparation them for the 7-8 machine pitch division.

Ballplayers will also begin to be introduced to some of the more fundamental baseball rules such as balls, strikes, and outs.  The primary goal will continue to be to instruct young players in the fundamentals of baseball in a supportive team environment.
