Basebll Registration Begins

Registration for the 2000 baseball and softball programs in Prescott is underway.

According to a release from the Prescott Baseball Association, the deadline for registering a child in the program is Saturday, April 8, with no registrations accepted after this date.

There is a $25 registration fee, but those families with two or more children playing will get a 20 percent discount.

Players will get to keep their caps and shirts.

The age divisions for girls are as follows: junior little league  7-9; little league  8-10; and dixie league  13-15.

The age breakdown for boys is: junior little league  6-7; little league minor  9-10; little league major  11-12; dixie youth  13-14; and dixie pre-majors  15-16.
