Welcome to Warren Avenue Knights Baseball!

Warren Avenue would like to invite all kids ages 4-13 to register for Baseball! We have gathered as many answers to your commonly asked questions and listed them below for your knowledge. We hope you enjoy our baseball program! 

When does Baseball registration begin?
Online registration for 2025 baseball opens on January 16th (closes March 20th); we will have an in-person registration scheduled in February and will be held at the Carpenter Field Clubhouse (1017 Warren Avenue). Specific dates and times to be determined.

What level and age groups are available for 2025 Baseball?

What is the age cutoff for baseball?
All players must be of age by August 31 of the Pee Wee sport year.  For example, the 2024-25 Pee Wee year runs August 1, 2024 - July 31, 2025. A player's Pee Wee Age for all sports within the 2024-25 Pee Wee year (2024 Football, 2025 Basketball and 2025 Baseball) is their age on August 31, 2024.

How much is registration?
Early Bird Registration is from January 16th to January 31st for Baseball. Baseball will be $175 for D, C, B string, and Coach Pitch, $125 for T-ball (price includes jersey and hat for all strings). We also offer multiple player discounts which are applied at checkout.  
Starting February 1st Baseball will be $225 for Coach pitch through B string and $150 for T-ball.

What does my registration fee go towards?
Because we are a non-profit organization our sports programs run solely on your registrations! Your registration's help pay for field rentals, sport equipment, insurance fees, official fees, field maintenance, lavatory facilities and game jerseys and hats which you get to keep!

Of course! You may attend our in-person registration Date is TBD at February Club Meeting and will be held at the Carpenter Field Clubhouse (1017 Warren Avenue). However because our registration and team management system is web based we do require that you have a valid email address to register.

Yes we do, but because we factor our scholarships into our seasonal budget and registration fees we only have a limited amount of scholarships available on a case by case basis. You may request for scholarship info by contacting our registrar prior to March 20th.

When do practices begin?
Practices begin mid March. Practice days can vary between 2-4 days a week and is dependent on the coach's discretion. A coach will contact you with specific details in regards to your locations, time and days of the week. From previous experience, coaches normally prefer their players to arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled practice time for warm ups.

Where are practices and games located?
We typically practice at Crownhill Elementary, West Hills STEM, Naval Avenue Elementary, Mt. View Middle School and Carpenter Field. Our home games are played at Crownhill Elementary.

What should we provide?
Below the knee or full length gray baseball pants, royal blue socks, royal blue belt, rubber molded cleats, and a baseball mitt. Although we typically find that players tend to bring their own baseball bats, we also provide at least 1-2 bats in our team equipment bags for those who don't. Hats are provided for each registered player and we will also have hats available for purchase at our concession stand. Players are offered a discounted price.

How long is the season?
Our Baseball program takes place during the spring time (mid March) and ends at the start of summer (mid June).

Is my child able to play up/down?
Requests to "play down" are rare and made on a case by case basis. These cases are to be presented to the Warren Avenue Board and also to Central Council at one of the KPAPWA meetings which take place normally every first Wednesday @ 8pm, located at the Silverdale Club House, Ross Field. Central Council is the deciding factor in all play down requests. We do allow players to "play up" but highly encourage that players stay within their string level determined by the Pee Wee age bracket. "Play up" requests are to be made to the registrar, coordinator and/or head coach and will be reviewed by the Warren Avenue board for approval.

Volunteering and Opting- Out 

When registering, you have the opportunity to volunteer for one or more roles in addition to the concessions volunteer requirement.  If you are planning to interact with players during practices and/or games (as a coach or helper), please be aware that you will be required to:
