Kenai Little League opens spring sign-ups; April 15 deadline, scholarships available
Kenai Little League has opened spring registration with an April 15 cutoff [1]. Fees are $60 for league ages 4–6 (Tee Ball) and $90 for ages 7 and up, with a $25 late fee per player after April 15 (max $50 per family) [1]. Scholarship help, including the T‑Mobile Call Up Grant, is available [1].The league places players by Little League age across Tee Ball (4), Coach Pitch (5–8), Minors (9–10), Majors (11–12), Intermediate Baseball (12–13), Junior Softball (12–14) and Senior Baseball (13–16). Divisions may be combined based on numbers, and evaluations for ages 9+ are scheduled as needed [1].Games typically run from mid‑May into late June. Tee Ball and Coach Pitch play at the Kenai Little League Fields, with some Minors games in Soldotna and upper divisions traveling at times to Homer or Anchorage; All‑Stars may head north for tournaments [1]. The home base is the Kenai Little League Fields complex managed by City Parks & Rec [3].Uniform jerseys, pants and belts are issued the week before games and must be returned at season’s end (players keep hats and socks). The league supplies shared bats, helmets and catcher’s gear; players should bring cleats and a mitt. Unreturned uniforms can trigger a $100 charge and affect eligibility the following year [1].Weather calls are typically made about three hours before first pitch by the league president in coordination with Parks & Rec; once on site, the umpire has the final say on playability. Schedule changes are posted on the league’s social channels and relayed by coaches [1][4].Coaches and volunteers apply online and complete screening. Coaches attend the early‑May meeting to receive rosters and gear; support roles include dugout parent, scorekeeper, umpire, snack shack and special events [1].Families can register and find sponsor options on the league’s Sports Connect site, with contacts listed for scholarships and volunteer questions [2][1].
