Pace has earned a reputation (and title) as a baseball powerhouse. PARA Baseball is where the great Pace players learn the game. Incredible facilities and great weather bring one thing to mind — Play Ball!
Friendly competition, opportunities for getting involved with your child, and the excitement of game days are just some of the reasons why parents choose to enroll kids in PARA's Baseball league.
PLACEMENT
Fall seasons - placement is determined by the player's age on April 30th of the following year.
Spring seasons - placement is determined by the player's age on April 30th of the current year.

Each parent is responsible for providing the uniform for the player as coordinated by the team. Each player will need baseball pants, cleats, a batting helmet and baseball glove.
For bats, please consult your team's head coach. The head coach will also provide parents with information on the color of the pants and socks worn in the game.
Girls are welcome to play in PARA’s Baseball League or in the PARA Fastpitch Softball League.
We always need coaches and encourage you to contact the VP of Baseball. The contact information is at the top right of this page.
WE NEED FALL BASEBALL COACHES!!
Fall Baseball DOES NOT have a draft, if you do not list a coach on your registration- you will be placed on a team once registration is closed. If we have a team of players with no coach listed, each parent will be called and asked to volunteer as the Head Coach. If no parent steps up to coach the team, we will refund all the players on the team.
PARA has no “bullpen” of volunteer coaches, all coaches are volunteers, if you do not have a coach prior to registering please consider volunteering to coach this fall.
