Q: At what age can I register my child for the coming season?

A: For T-Ball and Baseball the players age is based on their age as of May 1st of the physical season year (e.g., how old will your child be on May 1st, 2024). 

A: For Softball, the players age is based on their age as of January 1st of the physical season year (e.g., how old will your child be on January 1st, 2024).

A: For T-BALL, players must be Four-years (4-years) of age on or before May 1st of the physical season year. If a child turns four (4) years after May 1st, they will need to wait until the next season to register. (Please note that children four (4) years of age wishing to play T-Ball MUST be 4 years of age by 5/1/2024, to play in the 2024 season, due to insurance and sanctioning body regulations, sorry no exceptions!)

Six-Year-old's (6 year-olds) as of the 2024 season will now be placed in the Developmental COACH PITCH Division.

Divisions and player ages

OBSA player division registrations are auto assigned at the time of signup based on your players age on specific dates during the season in which you are signing up for. Players may only sign up for divisions that are approved for their specific age.

How old is your players?

Baseball, Intro Coach Pitch and T-Ball:
"Age of Play" is based on the players physical age on May 1st of the season year.

Softball players:
Age of Play"
is based on the players physical age on January 1st of the season year.

Playing up a division-
Players can participate in season tryouts for the "opportunity" to play in "one age year division up" from their current age specific division. Players MUST check in for their “registered division” and tryout and be evaluated for their registered division AND the next age bracket division up

NOTE: There is no guaranteed placement in the next division up simply by attending the player evaluations and coaches cannot pick players that have not attended player evaluations. Players MUST have evaluation ratings (and checked in at evaluations) and cannot be picked by coaches until all natively registered players in the division have been placed on a team. At that point available space will be determined.


Please see the charts below to help determine your players age and proper division placement.
