2023 FALL BASEBALL
THE PROGRAM
The Carrollton Boosters baseball program is a recreational intramural program for boys aged 4–15 as of April 30, 2024, Registered players are placed in one of the following leagues according to their date of birth:
T-Ball and Baseball:
4-year old Boys & Girls coed T-Ball
5’s Boys Baseball (Field F Beginner)*
6’s Boys Baseball (Field F Intermediate)*
7-8 Boys Baseball
9-10 Boys Baseball
11-12 Boys Baseball
13-15 Boys Baseball**
*Boys will automatically be placed in the Field F Beginner or Intermediate division based on their date of birth; however, parents can opt to have their son play in the alternate division simply by request to Registrar Alan Godchaux at [email protected] or to Commissioner Ashley Chan at [email protected]
**We are adding a 13-15 Boys age group this Fall; it has previously only been offered in the summer. Parents can opt to have their son play down in the 11-12 league if he won’t turn 14 before May 1. Players that play down will not be allowed to pitch in the 11-12 league. For more information about the format of each baseball league, including changes to the Field F Intermediate (6-year old) League, please see the FAQ document on this page.
All players are drafted onto teams, then play a schedule of games from the end of November through mid-January. Games are played at Carrollton’s Riverview fields on the Fly, behind the Audubon Zoo. 13-15’s play at Avenger Field, next to the Audubon tennis courts. Most games will be on Saturdays, with some games on weekday evenings. At the end of the season, playoff games can be on any weeknight. Practices can be on any weekday evening.
Players will be issued a team shirt and cap, to be worn at all games. They will need an appropriately sized glove, plus either cleats (preferable) or tennis shoes.

REGISTRATION and DRAFTING
To register, go to our website, www.carrolltonboosters.org, and log in to your Carrollton registration account. The fee is $135 for your first child, plus $110 for each additional child, plus a non-refundable $2 fee per transaction.
You may pay on line by credit or debit card, or you may choose the option to send a check, but note that your registration is not considered complete until fees are paid. Players who are not registered will not be graded or drafted onto teams.
Contact Alan Godchaux at [email protected] for help with registration or for payment assistance. Full and partial scholarships are available upon request.
All players, including those in the beginner leagues, are assigned to teams through a player draft. By registering your child, you agree to having him or her placed in the player draft, during which any of our volunteer coaches may pick him or her onto a team. Carrollton Boosters does not guarantee placement of any player onto any particular team, or onto a team with any particular other player(s). The only exceptions are that coaches get to pick their own children, and that siblings are placed on the same team, unless otherwise requested by their parent/guardian. After players have been drafted onto a team, registration fees will not be refunded or credited, except in cases of illness or injury.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING PARTICIPATION IN NON-CARROLLTON BASEBALL PROGRAMS, LEAGUES OR TEAMS
Parents/guardians should make note of Rule 6 of the rules for all players in the Carrollton Boosters Baseball Handbook before registering their children for baseball. Please refer any questions about this rule to Ashley Chan at [email protected].
COACHES
Coaching is an excellent way to not only develop a greater appreciation for baseball or softball, but to also form a special bond with your son or daughter as the season progresses. If you are interested in being a coach, simply answer “yes” to the question when registering, then also register yourself as a volunteer coach, and we will contact you.
DONATIONS
When registering, please also consider making a tax-deductible contribution to our Capital Fund. Contributions to this fund are used for continued additions and improvements to our fields and facilities.
