Northridge Baseball Association (Springfield, Ohio)

Each season, our program services around 400 kids across 30 teams which is run by a small board consisting of 3-5 people. To maintain the program and keep it running, we rely on volunteers to help coach, prepare fields, and help work concession stands. In recent years, we have witnessed a decline in volunteer involvement even through we rely heavily on the support of the community to be successful.

This year, we are introducing a fully refundable concession stand volunteer fee of $25. The fee is in addition to the cost of registration and will be presented at checkout. 

By having the refundable fee in place, parents have a vested intereset in helping support the association through helping run our concession stands which provide the necessary funding to keep the league running. Once a parent has completed their concession stand shift, a board member will document the shift as being worked and a refund for the fee will be issued. Failure to work the concession stand shift will result in forefeiture of the fee and Northridge Baseball will retain the $25.

Welcome to the 2024 season for Northridge Baseball. This year, we are implementing some big changes to our age groups to more closely align with other leagues in the local area.

The new age groups are based on the player's age as of 8/31/2024 and are as follows:

4/5 Year Olds - TBall/Coach Pitch - Pappy Maine Fields

6/7/8 Year Olds - Coach Pitch - Pappy Maine Fields

9/10/11 Year Olds - Kid Pitch - Pappy Maine Fields and/or Russell Field

12/13/14 Year Olds - Kid Pitch - Russell Field

15/16/17 Year Olds - Kid Pitch - Russell Field

We are excited to offer 17 year olds the opportunity to play. To do this, we had to regroup our ages but the changes allow more high school kids to play which is the spirit of the organization's goal and mission.
