Cost of Registration:

Please note that we have increased our registration prices due to costs of uniforms, umpires and equipment.  This is our first increase in 10 years.  It is an increase of $10 per player from previous years with a raffle fundraiser attached.

• T-Ball & Minor B - $60 + $25 Raffle Tickets = $85.00

• Minor A & Majors - $75 + $25 Raffle Tickets = $100.00

Discounts:

• Sibling discount: $25.00 per extra family member.

• Town of Forestport Tax Payer Discount: $65.00 per player whose parent pays Foresport taxes.  May require proof of payment of taxes to receive this discount.

• Raffle - Each player will receive five - $5 dollar raffle tickets as part of registration. The tickets are already included in the price of registration.  A player sells these tickets and the parent / guardian keeps the money from tickets.  This will effectively lower all players registration price by $25.00.  Tickets will be distributed via mail based on the address used during sign up.  They will be distributed when registration closes.  Raffle drawing will be opening day and include a variety of prizes.  Prizes will be listed prior to distribution of tickets.
