WITH ONLY 94 DAYS LEFT BEFORE OPENING DAY, IT’S TIME TO REGISTER NOW TO GUARANTEE A GREAT SEASON OF BASEBALL ON THE FIELD OF DREAMS
CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG: With TP home plate umpire Joel Scott looking on, Dodgers catcher Lachlan (9) applies the 1-2 putout tag on a sliding Leo (7) of the Giants to erase his bold bid to steal home in the bottom of the fourth inning of the 2014 TP Baseball Mosquito Division Championship Game at Christie Pits Diamond 2 on September 8, 2014.
With a meagre 94 days remaining before Opening Day, The Toronto Playgrounds Baseball Committee is continuing to accept registrations for the upcoming 2015 House League Baseball Season at Christie Pits, Bickford Park and Art Eggleton Park.
Due to the overwhelming popularity of our respective house league baseball offerings, the Committee strongly urges all interested parents and players to register early to guarantee a placement in our program. ALL roster spots in our six age groups will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. Once all the available roster openings have been filled in a designated age category, any additional registrants will be put on a sequential waiting list in the event an opening becomes available.
Here are the 2015 TP House League Baseball Registration Fees for our six age classifications:
- TEE BALL (2008-2011) > $135.00
- ROOKIE BALL (2006-2007) > $135.00

Parents and Players are also advised that the house league registration fee covers the cost of a trophy, picture (individual & team) and a uniform (cap, jersey and pants).

DIVISION REGISTRATION
The divisions for our house league and the corresponding years of birth are set out above. If you’d like to register your child in a division other than the one listed for their year of birth, please contact us at tpbaseball@gmail.com to discuss it before completing the form.
Our popular Tee Ball program is moving to our new “two-diamond” home at Art Eggleton Park (see website for details). The TP Baseball Committee is offering both a Junior Tee Ball (2010-2011) and Senior Tee Ball (2008-2009) for the 2015 season. We feel that this will provide an even more enjoyable experience for our tee ball players, who will be participating with others at the same level of experience and skill. Tee ball will again be offered on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays this season.
There will also again be two divisions of Rookie Ball (2006-2007) – one playing Mondays and practising Wednesdays and the other playing Wednesdays and practising Mondays. Please rank Tee Ball days as 1, 2, 3 in order of preference and Rookie Ball days as 1 and 2 in order of preference when you fill out your registration form.
In both the Tee Ball and Rookie Ball divisions the spaces in the divisions will be assigned on a first-come first-served basis. There are obviously only a certain number of spots available in each division.
If you have any questions, please contact us at tpbaseball@gmail.com and we will respond to your query as expeditiously as possible.
