Welcome to GBA Minors! The 2025 vice president of Minors is Tony Sheffo. You may contact him directly at asheffo@gmail.com. Spring 2025 registration will be open November 29, 2024 through February 14, 2025. No late registrations will be processed.
 

The registration fee for spring 2025 Minors is $50, with a sale of a $10 discount Nov. 29th through Dec. 9th. If you have concerns regarding the registration fee, please contact Tony. GBA is committed to ensuring all players are able to play this season. Players will recieve a jersey, hat, and a chest protector shirt for the spring season.

​

Minors is open to boys and girls age 7, 8, or 9 on April 30, 2025. In other words, their birthdays fall between May 1, 2015 and April 30, 2018. We do not hold try-outs for Minors, but there is a required evaluation day to help make the teams fair and competitive. Players are also encouraged to sign up for the TK Winter Clinic through GBA to help with evaluation. Any player interested in being considered for the 10U CitiSports competitive team should attend winter clinics as part of the evaluation process. All questions about CitiSports teams should be addressed to Tony Sheffo.

 

Minors at GBA is an in-house rec program. GBA teams will play other GBA teams in a regular season, and a short playoff and championship series. The season runs April through the end of June. Depending on weather and make-up games, there is a chance the season could go a little longer. Minors games are played at Hammer Field. (For the 10U team, there will be an additional season, but all competitive team players must also play rec ball.)

​​

Players who are age 7 will be pitched to by their coach. Players ages 8 and 9 will be pitched to by the opposing team's pitcher (a kid player).

​

Schedules will be determined closer to the start of the season. Typically, players can expect at least 1-2 practices and 1-2 games a week. Your player's coach will communicate with you directly about practice schedules. 

​​

There is a service/fundraising duty for all families of GBA players. For each player you register, you will need to work 2 pop stand shifts (usually 1.5 hours each shift). If you do not want to work the pop stand, you will have to pay a $50 opt-out fee per child when registering. The Pop Stand schedule will be assigned, although you may trade your assigned shift with another family.  Each player will also be responsible for a  $10.00 contribution to basket raffles for All-Star Day in June.

​

Equipment for Minors includes:

• Glove

• Bats must be stamped USA (USSSA bats are not allowed.)

• Batting Helmet with a cage (this is a requirement for Minors)

• Plastic molded spikes (metal not allowed)
