Registration for the 2020 Joy League Baseball season begins Feb. 1 at Edgewood Elementary School in Homewood and will be held each Saturday, 9 a.m.-noon, throughout February.
Joy League is open to boys and girls ages 4-12. The cost for the season is $35 per player and includes each player’s jersey and cap. Practices will begin March 7. Opening Day is scheduled for April 4, and the season will conclude June 13.
This year marks the second season that Joy League will play its games at Homewood Middle School. League Commissioner Tim Meehan said the change has been positive for the league.
“We’re extremely grateful to Dr. Bill Cleveland and everyone at Homewood City Schools for their support of Joy League,” said Meehan. “Our parents and players love the new facilities, and we’re excited about the upcoming season.”
John J. Smith Sr. founded the league in 1958 based on the idea that every child who wants to play baseball should have the chance to play. The league emphasizes sportsmanship and having fun while learning to play the game. There is no residency requirement for registration, and anyone who wants to play is welcome.
