Do I need to create my own team?

Though you are free to create your own team with friends, this is not necessary to be able to play. You can sign up as an individual player to be put in contact with a team manager who is looking for players.

Teams are encouraged to obtain their own sponsorships to reduce uniform and equipment costs.

What equipment do I need?

You will need to have standard baseball equipment, including but not limited to, a fielding glove, a wooden bat (see league rules for specific information), a batting helmet, and a full (team-matching) baseball uniform consisting of a hat, jersey, and pants. Metal or plastic cleats are acceptable.

Teams may also consider purchasing shared equipment, like catcher’s gear, training equipment, or practice balls to share among multiple players during the course of the season.

We are working on a local partnership for league participants to obtain many of the above items at a discount. Stay tuned.

The league will purchase and maintain a stock of game balls.

Where can my team practice?

Our league is NOT authorized to use Memorial Field for practice. Teams who would like to practice should make arrangements to use other baseball fields, parks, or facilities in the Flathead Valley for this purpose.

We are working on a partnership that would allow league participants to utilize an indoor facility to practice. Stay tuned.

How do I become a team manager?

If you are interested in managing a team, please send us an email. Team managers are responsible for ensuring that their team obtains all required equipment/uniforms and is able to field a full team for games. Managers also set the batting/fielding lineups and ensure that the official scorebook is completed during the game and submitted to the league following the game. The home team manager is responsible for ensuring that the field is in a playable condition prior to the start of the game (ie. chalk lines, etc.). Team managers can play in games as well.

How do I become an umpire?

The league is in need of 2 umpires for each game, and will pay $100 per umpire, per game. If you are a qualified umpire and are interested in umpiring our games, please send us an email.
