Last year, we had an incredible response from businesses wanting to sponsor Rec League baseball and softball teams. Thanks to that overwhelming support, we’re taking it a step further this year by sponsoring fields. We are wanting to give even more exposure to the businesses and individuals who make summer ball possible!

If you are interested, please print off the attached form and return it prior to May 1st. If you have any questions, please reach out to Shawn, and he will be happy to provide more information.
