Community Program - Rookie Camp

Rookie Camp Community Program: In partnership with the Eden Prairie Fastpitch Association (EPFA), we offer an in-house Rookie Camp program for boys & girls in Pre-Kindergarten (4&5 years old). 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.  

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 email treasurer@epbaseball.com for more information.
