The Harrisburg Parks and Recreation Department offers baseball for children ages 3 years old to 15 years old. Baseball is offered in the spring and fall. Information regarding spring registration and league information will typically be available in December/January. Information regarding fall registration and league information will typically be available in late April/early May.

Fall 2023 Baseball Registration IS OPEN!

REGULAR Registration:  May 22 - June 11 

*LATE Registration Period:  June 12 - June 18 

*A $25 late fee will be applied to each late registration submitted. A donation of 12 canned goods per late registration may be made to have the fee waived. Cans must be presented at time of registration to have the fee waived; therefore, late registrations with canned goods can only be processed in person at the Parks and Recreation office between Monday, June 12, and Friday, June 16, during regular office hours (8am-5pm).

IMPORTANT TOWN OF HARRISBURG POLICY CHANGE: For all Parks & Recreation fees, “Resident/Town of Harrisburg Taxpayer” refers to participants who reside within Town of Harrisburg city limits and pay the additional Harrisburg City Tax to the Town. Fees and residency are no longer based on a Harrisburg address or county residence. This policy change may make the registration cost for your participant different from previous seasons (prior to winter 2022).

Where/How to Register:

NOTE TO PARENTS/GUARDIANS: You must read through the season's information sheet BEFORE completing a registration for your player(s) to review the important details that will help you complete your player's registration appropriately. The information is also provided to help you determine if this sport/league will be a "good fit" for your family. Please consider all information before completing a player registration. Due to the complexity of team creation, scheduling, uniforms, etc., we cannot make player and/or team changes after team drafts are completed. 

Registration is available online or in-person at the Harrisburg Parks and Recreation Office. All registrations are processed through the CivicRec program, so an active member account is required. Additional household members, such as children and spouse, need to be added to the main member account in order to register them for an activity. Please keep all household members under one main account for easier tracking of activities, payments, etc., and be careful to not create multiple accounts.

• Waiting List Information: If you miss regular and late registration and are still interested in having a child participate in a sport, you may add the child to the waiting list for their age division via the registration link. No payment is required to place a child on a waiting list. If a spot needs to be filled for an age group and/or on a specific team, the Parks & Recreation staff will refer to the waiting list to fill that opening as a late registration. If a spot becomes available, and your player is next on the waiting list, you will be contacted via phone and/or email - a quick response and registration are necessary, or the spot will be offered to the next person.
