The Hamlin Park Baseball Association (HPBA) Program will include nearly 1,000 players (boys and girls ages 5 - 19) participating in 9 different divisions, 6 baseball divisions and 3 softball divisions. As in past years, there continues to be tremendous interest in any openings, and we anticipate that there will be more demand for openings than there are spots available. "Waiting Lists” will be developed for each division.
HPBA anticipates rostering the following number of players by division. All numbers are estimates, and do not include additional “Waiting List” players:

HPBA does offer financial assistance through the Jack Burke Scholarship Fund. Financial Assistance is provided to those players and families who need help in paying the HPBA summer House League registration fees.
HPBA will be offering families the opportunity to sponsor other deserving players in the program who may not have the financial resources to fully cover their registration fees. If you would like to contribute to our "Jack Burke Scholarship Fund", there will be a place within the registration process for you to make a tax deductible contribution to help these kids participate.
Please go to the Jack Burke Scholarship Fund page to learn more and to apply for a scholarship.
Returning players may apply to play up or play down to another division. Candidates must complete a Play Up /Play Down Request Form in order to be considered. All players who are new to HPBA are expected to play in the division which is designated for their age and birth date.
