To sell candy, include $104 for 2 boxes of candy ($52 for 1 box for 1st year T-Ball/Rookie) with your registration fee. You will be notified when to pick up the candy. When you sell the candy, you keep the proceeds.

If you do not wish to sell, you may purchase a buy-out. Include $60 (1st year T-Ball/Rookie $30) with your registration fee. You will not be receiving candy to sell.

Want to save money on registration: bring in a new team sponsor with your registration form and the player's candy fundraiser fees will be waived.

Volunteering / Work Bonds:

NBBSA is a not-for-profit organization, established for the benefit of our league’s children. The only workers that get paid are the umpires; all other work is done by volunteers. It is expected that parents want to be involved in their child’s baseball or softball experience. Your children are counting on it.

To ensure everyone participates, a work bond is required for the first two children in each family. Separate cash, check or money order for $150 dated 4/1/2018 is mandatory. To satisfy this requirement, a minimum of 5 hours of volunteering is required for each child participating; a minimum of 10 hours per family with 2 or more children. Each 5 hours will be split as follows: 3 hours at the snack shack and 2 hours at the Youth Sports Festival in June 2018.

It is each Parent’s responsibility to complete their work bond hours. If you do not complete the mandatory hours, your work bond check will not be returned; it will be cashed. For those that complete the mandatory work, checks will be returned at the Annual Awards Picnic in September.

REFUND POLICY:

Refund processing of registration fees only prior to 3/1/18.  Candy fundraiser is non-refundable. No refunds will be processed after 3/1/18.
