6th/7th Grade Community Program: The In-House program is for boys & girls in the 6th and 7th Grades. For the Community Leagues, players play with their current grade in school at time of registration (Spring of the current year). The policy of the EPBA Board of Directors strictly prohibits players from playing up from the established rules.
Travel programs for EPBA are offered at 6th and 7th Grade - your player can either play in the community program OR the travel program, not both.
Volunteers: To run a successful baseball program, we need volunteers to coach. We will provide a coaching clinic for all coaches, instructional videos on the EPBA website, and a source for coaches to ask questions when needed. Please indicate if you are interested in being a Head Coach or Assistant Coach on your player's registration.

Because the EPBA believes that no young baseball player should ever be denied the opportunity to participate in America’s favorite pastime because of temporary family economic problems we provide financial assistance to families in need.
Should you need financial assistance in order to participate in the league, please contact the Treasurer for more information.
