Register for the MSHYB 2022 Spring League

"Early Bird" Special - Ends Nov 15

MSHYB Families,

We hope you are having a great fall. Yes, winter is coming and indoor sports will be on your mind. However, we are already thinking about our Spring season and looking to get ahead of things for your benefit.

Please take advantage of an "early bird" special for registration whose fees will go towards operating the league.

League registration fees will be as follows:

• $250 per player through Nov 15
• $300 after Nov 15

We also welcome larger contributions that will be put towards various MSHYB field and operational improvement projects

If your child is born on or after 5/1/2009 and is at least in 1st grade currently, click here to sign up. Registration will close on Dec 15 this year so we can plan for as normal as spring season as we've had in a while.

The form will guide you through key information we required, some additional COVID-related items, and payment instructions.

As we refresh our mailing lists, please forward this to your neighbors or anyone you know who may miss the opportunity to register early - new to town, newly interested, renewed interest in the sport.

Some answers to prior questions below. For additional information, please contact us at info@mshyb.com.

Stay safe, enjoy the fall, stay warm and safe in the winter. We are excited to keep the momentum going into next year.
