When are the games played? - During the season (early April through mid-June), teams play 1 game during the week (Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursdays) and 1 game on Saturday. For an age group with an uneven number of teams, it is possible to have a week or weekend during the season with no game or with an extra practice.
Where are the games played? - Games are played at the Turk Fields, Maplewood Park, Bush Park or Sauerman Park.
How long are the games? - All Junior baseball games are 6 innings or two hours. T-Ball and Coach Pitch games are usually played for 60-90 minutes.
What can you tell me about practices? - We typically schedule 4-6 practices per team prior to the start of the season. As always, the number of practices that we can get in is dependent on Mother Nature. Due to games and field availability, there are a limited number of practices that can be held once games start.
When does the season start and end? - Practices normally start around April 1st. Opening Day is usually in mid-April. The season typically runs through early June for the younger division and through mid-June for the divisions (Majors, Minors AAA, Minors AA) with playoffs.
How many games are there? - For Jr. Baseball, most age groups play approximately 10 games during the season (weather dependent), plus the playoffs. Fewer for T-Ball teams.

IMPORTANT: To obtain a Discount for multiple children in same family
If you are registering multiple children in the same family for baseball, to gain the DAA discount you must register them all in this single registration sitting. After registering the first child DO NOT select the "Continue to Shopping Cart" option to finalize payment. Instead, choose the "Register Another Person" option until the last child is registered. (The multi-child discount is as follows: 15% off for 2 kids, 30% off for 3 kids, 40% off for 4 kids and 50% off for 5 or more kids.)
DAA’s T-Ball program is a casual way to introduce young children to the great game of baseball and to have fun learning the fundamentals of the game.
Every player bats and plays the field each inning. T-Ball is all about having fun, trying to hit the ball, and hopefully by the end of the year, stop having the kids pile on the baseball every time the ball is hit!
We are always looking for sponsors for our in-house teams. A sponsorship gets your company's name on the back of a team's t-shirts, a link on our web site, and a team plaque. For 2024, the cost of a sponsorship is $150. We will make every effort for sponsors to be able to sponsor their own child's team. Sometimes due to special requests and the number of sponsors in a given age group, it is not always possible.
Paying for your sponsorship can be done when you register your child or by contacting our Sponsorship Coordinator at sponsorships@daasports.org.
You do not need to register a player to be a sponsor.
We do our best to accommodate requests to play with a certain friend or for a particular coach. Sometimes the number of requests for a coach or the number of friends (and friends of friends) makes it impossible to honor all of them.
For non-draft divisions we do try to take into account the school a player attends to increase the chance they will play with kids they already know.
For leagues that have drafts (Majors, Minors AAA and Minors AA), we are not always able to meet special requests.
To complete registration through our secure site, please have your Visa, MasterCard or Discover information available. Those are the only payment options supported (i.e., no Amex, and no payment-by-check allowed).
Once registered and paid, refunds will be granted as follows:
Girls are welcome to play at all ages.
Your registration provides for your child's hat, shirt and pants. Your child should have his or her own glove. Baseball cleats are also highly recommended. Many players like to have their own bat and batting helmet but that is not required.
Each team will have a team equipment bag that will include batting helmets and catchers gear. Bats will also be provided at each field.
There are no tryouts for in-house baseball.
In order to try and make the teams as even as possible, coaches fill out player evaluation forms after each season that are used for the next year. For new players, we ask the parents to provide an evaluation as part of the registration process.
