Spring Baseball Registration
Registrations for the Spring baseball season begin in early November. CVBA encourages you to sign up for spring baseball as soon as possible due to league commitments, planning purposes, team placement guarantees, and to avoid any late fees.
CVBA offers baseball programs for beginner and recreational players ages 4 to 10 years old where games are primarily in-house. Additionally, CVBA offers Town (Formerly Called Travel) Baseball programs for more competitive baseball players starting with 10U through 14U playing in the Lancaster County Youth Baseball League (LCYBL).
Spring Baseball Program
CV Baseball offers several programs across many age groups. Age groups are based on the LCYBL Age Chart for all travel and recreational teams, but has flexibility with recreational teams to best fit players onto teams where s/he is best suited. You can located that age chart as well as other important documents for the LCYBL here.
- Tee Ball: Ages 4 to 6 (recreational and play on CV Fields)

Previous mandatory per player Field Fees have been added to the registration cost.
Previous mandatory annual fundraiser fees have been added to the registration cost.
Registration Deadline
- The registration deadline is January 19th for the Town Ball program and February 28th for Tee Ball, Rookies, and 10U Rec programs.
- Any registration after the Registration Deadline will be subject to a $20.00 late fee.
Multiple Player Discounts
- $40 savings for each additional child
Field Day Fee
Previous mandatory per player Field Fees have been added to the registration cost. This formerly separate fee is being added to registration to pay for the cost of the fields being professionally prepared for the spring baseball season. Volunteer participation in the annual Field Day event has been too small so the Board has instituted the fee to have the funds to pay for the fields to be prepared.
Fundraiser
Previous mandatory annual fundraiser fees have been added to the registration cost. The fundraiser was a huge benefit to the CV Baseball Community because it helped keep the fees lower for families. Due to lack of participation in the fundraiser and extra logistics of managing the fee for players who did or did not opt out, the fee has been added to the registration cost. Registration fees charged prior to Spring 2023 did not cover the costs of running the program. The fundraiser was required to have the funds needed to run baseball in the community.
Volunteering
Any individual interested in coaching a 10U, 12U, or 14U team this upcoming season must reach out to CV Baseball by email at info@cvbaseballassociation.com. The Board will review each candidate and determine the best fit for each team. Additionally, all background checks must be submitted prior to evaluations in January.
Refund Policy
If a refund is requested, we reserve the right to reduce the refund by any costs that we’ve incurred. Examples of those costs are registration fees, uniforms, league fees, etc. Submit your request via email to info@cvbaseballassociation.com with the player’s name and reason.
Town Ball(Formerly called Travel) Player/10U Evaluations
For all players taking part on our Town (formerly called travel) Ball teams as well as the 10U rec league, we hold evaluations to best place each player on a team. There is no guarantee your player will make a Town Ball team. All players will be evaluated fairly and placed on teams based on what's best for the player, team, and program. We are aware of players who have other scheduled/planned activities that prevent them from coming. All of this will be taken into consideration when forming Spring Town Ball teams. These evaluations are for Town Ball players only but all 10U players, regardless of desire to play Town Ball or Rec, should participate.
Town Ball Player Evaluations will be held at
Keystone State Sports on
January 27, 2024. Times will be communicated once the registration window has closed.
Players will be evaluated on Hitting, Fielding, and Pitching. We encourage all players to bring their own equipment. CV Baseball will provide a few bats and helmets for the tryout.
What happens after registration?
Teeball and Coach Pitch Teams
Practices will begin in late March or early April at which point you'll hear from your coach with more details about the season. Typically, a team will practice 1-2 times per week and when games start it will be a max of 3 times per week. Each coach makes their schedule according to field availability and other variables. No events are scheduled on Sundays unless weather cancellations require make ups. The season typically ends in early June but your coach will provide your schedules. Please note any scheduling conflicts during registration and we'll try to accommodate. We ask for your child's school and grade as we try to place them on teams that will practice close to that area.
10U Teams Recreational Teams
For ages 8-10 we have recreational teams and travel teams. Recreational teams will play at CV fields, will be primarily in-house, the season will be begin March and end in early June, and the evaluation is not mandatory (though highly encouraged to help balance teams). If you want your player to be in the recreational team regardless of evaluation results, please register for 10U and note your preference in the comments section. If you are unsure, we recommend registering your player, completing the evaluation in January, and then the coaches will recommend placement. The board will decide the best placement of players to best assign players to the appropriate section and team. Please note any scheduling conflicts during registration and we'll try to accommodate you.
10U/12U/14U Town (formerly called travel) Ball Teams
To play on one of the Town Ball teams, we require a player evaluation. The board will decide the best placement of players to best assign players to the appropriate section and team. The evaluations for Town Ball teams will be in late January.
All 10U/12U/14U Town Ball rosters will be determined by late February and coaches will then communicate team practice schedules and season expectations. Your coach will determine their team's practice frequency and schedule but you can usually expect 3-4 practices per week and then 1-2 games per week beginning in April. The regular season ends in mid-to-late June and if playoffs are achieved then the season may continue through mid-July.
For 10U players who tried out for a 10U Town Ball team but was not selected, s/he will be given a refund and placed on a recreational team roster. For 12U and 14U players, all game play is in the LCYBL.
For 9th graders who are still eligble for 14U, please sign up for baseball as well as attend assessments even if he is trying out for Junior Varsity Baseball at CVHS. In the event the player DOES NOT make the JV team, he will have a place on the 14U roster. In the even he DOES make the JV team, CVBA will issue a full refund for registration.
Coaches may also enter their team into tournament(s) and that will be explained at the beginning of the season.
