Registration for Summer Baseball 2022 is Open!

Registration is now open for Summer baseball through PIBA. During the off season SportsSignUp Play was acquired by SportsEngine. Thus PIBA has moved registration to SportsEngine. If you have not used SportsEngine for other sports you will be required to create a new account and add your baseball player(s) under “household.” The good news is the process is straightforward.

Please visit the following link to access the registration:

New sports engine website –>  https://pine-island-baseball-association.sportngin.com/

Volunteer Coaches

For those that plan to volunteer coach the volunteer coach registration is now also available.  Coaches are asked for consent to a background check and are required to complete player safety training.  All volunteer coaches are required to complete this registration.  There is no cost for this registration.  All background check and safety training fees for all coaches are covered by PIBA.

Development league for those in 5th and 6th Grade

We have also introduced a new team this year for those in 5^th and 6^th grade.  The league is a development league for those players that want to continue to play baseball, but don’t want to play on the tournament/traveling teams.  The league will play games primarily in Rochester and Pine Island against local club teams and will focus more on player development, with less travel commitment and more appropriate competition for players who are still learning the basics of the game of baseball.  This will be an 11U/12U combined team playing in the Southern Minny League.  If there is not enough interest in this new team, the players signed up for the 11U/12U team would be re-assigned to the respective traveling tournament team and given the option to play on that team for the additional registration fee.

The reason behind offering this new option is to maximize the baseball experience for everyone.  This is a fairly new league and we would like as many players out for baseball that have an interest. Even more importantly, we want the players in a position for success and enjoyment.
