Families must complete volunteer DIBS hours; 4 hours per child or a maximum of 8 hours per family or pay a $500 volunteer buyout option at registration per registered child. This volunteer buyout option is available and included in the baseball registration form.
NOTE: T-ball players DO NOT have to complete the volunteer requirement.
It is the policy of ARAA Baseball that we will offer a full refund should you decide not to play up until the time that registration closes. Once registration has been closed, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to receive a full refund. Any funds already spent on your player (pants, jerseys, hats, traveling team slush funds, etc) will not be refunded.
