Welcome to Hopkinsbaseball.com, the official communication and information link for 13U-15U players in the Hopkins Baseball Community, as well as for Senior level players for teams 16U and 17U-19U.
Hopkins Baseball Association seeks to enhance the personal growth and development of everyone involved in baseball, both on and off the field, including, but not limited to the players, coaches, parents, spectators, and officials.
When they say "play ball", that is what they mean - Play hard and have fun.
HBA has closed registrations for Ages 13-15. Thank you to all the players who participated and to our dedicated volunteers who made the evals run so smoothly. Teams have been formed [CLICK HERE] for all 13, 14, and 15 year olds. If you have any questions, reach out to HBA President Michael Frodermann.
Great news for players who are ages 16-19 and want to keep playing summer ball: Registration is now open for the HBA Senior League. Typically we have one or two teams participate in this level of ball. It's open to players who live in or attend (or have recently attended) Hopkins Public Schools. Practices start in mid-May and games begin in June, running into mid-July plus there's an end-of-season tournament. If you have any questions, email Gary Matson. Play Ball!
