All players planning to participate in Babe Ruth and Legion baseball in Valley City must complete the registration forms below by May 1, 2025. Please read the important information below.

- Payment must be received by the first day of practice. Payment can be mailed to the address below, paid via Venmo or PayPal, or given to a VCBA board member. Please note which player you are paying for. Fees will remain the same as last year.

- The VCBA has grant money available for families that need help paying for registration. Please contact a board member for more information.

- Registration fees help cover the cost of player equipment and gear, including a shirt, hat and uniforms. The VCBA will also supply a personal batting helmet to players that need one.

2025 Registration Fees
Babe Ruth: $250 after March 15
Legion: $300 after March 15
Concession Stand Buyout: $100 (optional)

Concession Stand Update
We continue to need volunteers to help staff the concession stand during games. Our game days consist of 2 games (doubleheaders), which require a concession worker and grill worker. Each baseball family is required to supply:
2 workers for one assigned game day (this would cover both the grill and concessions)

OR

1 worker on two different game days (your choice of grill or concessions)

We will again use Signupgenius and once schedules are set we will be sending out notices to baseball families to select which game(s) they can work. There will be a $100 buyout option (payable at registration) for families that do not wish to work their shifts in the concession stand. Last year we had more games than families to cover everything, so at times we will be sending out a call for extra helpers. You have the option of being paid for any extra game days worked, or donating your time to help the baseball program. If you have a family member (think teenager) that would be interested in working more games for pay that can be on call, please let Debby Neseth know at vcbabusiness@gmail.com. We will plan to open the concession stand for the college, high school and junior high games in the spring, along with Babe Ruth and Legion games during the summer.
