ON-LINE REGISTRATION

The Kino Baseball League in coordination with Sports Illustrated Play will begin requiring players wishing to play in the 2017 13U Spring Season and the 13-15 and 16-18 Summer Divisions to do on-line registration and payment directly to the league.

This individual registration and payment process is for ONLY the spring and summer seasons. The fall and winter leagues at this time will remain the same where the individual teams will collect their fees and pay the league.

WHY THE CHANGE?

The league’s liability insurance carrier is requiring that the league begin having a record of players who participate with the league and that there is an authorization process in place that the parent or legal guardian agree and authorize their athlete to participate in the Kino Baseball League.
It will provide the league the accurate number of players that are participating in the league that can be forwarded onto the city and county parks departments who now request participation numbers from the various leagues and sports organizations that use these fields.
The league through it’s affiliation with Babe Ruth Baseball will now offer medical/accident insurance for every player that registers and pays on-line. (See Insurance information for more details)
