2020 Fall Baseball Registration now live
Registration is now active for HBA Fall Ball. Click the blue banner above to learn more and start the process.
For those of you unfamiliar, players play the age level/rules/field dimensions that they will play next season (Summer of 2021). Teams play doubleheaders for five weeks on Sundays from mid-September to mid-October.
We especially look forward to welcoming into HBA the players graduating from our feeder programs, Glen Lake Mighty Mites, Hopkins Area Little League, Big Willow Baseball Association and Golden Valley Little League. Fall Baseball is a great introduction of those players into the organization.

We're Hiring Field Setup Crew Members
Teenagers, who are you looking to make some extra spending money? We have just the job for you. We need field setup crew members to set up the field prior to games. The schedule is flexible in that you select the games you are available to do the set up. The work is pretty simple and takes around and hour. Daily tasks include removing tarps from fields, dragging/raking infield dirt, chalking the batters box/baselines, emptying the trash cans and light bathroom cleaning/stocking. We also have bathroom deep cleaning shifts that pay a little extra.
