- Rookies (ages 6-8): $155

Age for division selection is based on your child’s age as of May 1, 2026.

Once I register, what should I expect next?
- Minors & Majors: Player Evaluations (tryouts) are typically held during the first two weekends of January. Players will be evaluated by coaches and drafted to teams. Evaluation times will be announced closer to the event.
- T-Ball & Rookies: Teams will be assigned by the Executive Board.
Coaches will reach out by mid-February to provide details such as uniform color (pants/belt/socks) and practice schedules.

I made a mistake / I changed my mind / My kid changed their mind. How can I request a refund?
- Refund requests can be made by emailing us at CentralCalRipken@outlook.com.
- Please include your player’s name and date of birth for easy identification.
- Refunds will be issued to the original form of payment, and may take up to 7-10 business days to appear.
Please note: Refunds are not permitted once teams are formed (typically the weekend of player evaluations for Minors/Majors). Once rosters are finalized, uniforms are ordered, and insurance is paid, your registration fees have been allocated to other vendors and are non-refundable.
If you selected supplemental insurance during registration, contact the insurance provider directly for a refund claim.
