Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to register?

Spring 2025 Season Fees:

• T-Ball (ages 4-6): $100
• Rookies (ages 6-8): $130
• Minors (ages 8-10): $150
• Majors (ages 10-12): $160

Note: Fees for the 2025 Spring season will be announced in November.

Age for division selection is based on your child’s age as of May 1, 2025.
Example: If Little Mickey is 6 years old now but will turn 7 before May 1st, he must register for the Rookies division as he will age out of T-Ball during the season.

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.
