We apologize for the price increase for this season's registration, but unfortunately with the lack of a season last year, increase in uniform costs and no ability to do fundraisers, we had to increase the prices to cover costs.
Payment for Registration Fees can be paid thru:

Venmo - @EvergreenAthletics1

Coaches
We are a parent-run organization and volunteers are vital! Please let me know if you are interested in serving as head or assistant coach! All new coaches need to complete a national background check through the Chesterfield County Police Department. Please see the County's website for dates, times and location for processing. County-issued cards are valid for three years from the date of issue and have the expiration date printed on them.
Evaluations and Teams:
- We will be hosting an evaluation for all levels, please make sure you are able to attend once the dates are published.
- All age groups have an instructional level as well as more advanced level. During evaluation the coaches will decide where the player fits best. This is not only for safety but we want your player to enjoy the game!
- Teams will be selected based on individual evaluations of each player by the coaches with assistance from the director. Other factors will also be considered in consultation with coaches and parents, including keeping pre-existing teams together as much as possible.
If you have questions, please contact:
eaabaseball@playevergreen.com or Erin.Parsley@playevergreen.com

Fall Baseball
Each year, CBC sponsors play for a Fall baseball league for players ages 6 through 15. All games are played on Saturdays, generally beginning the second Saturday in September, running for six consecutive weeks. Ages 6 through 8 play just one game per Saturday, while ages 9 through 15 play two consecutive games. Sunday afternoons are used for rainouts. Fields are made available for practice Monday through Friday.
