For those who are new to Green Brook Baseball Club, here are answers to some Frequently Asked Questions:

Q:What activities does the registration include?

A: First,there are FREE Winter Clinics at an indoor facility in the months of February/March for those that register early. No additional registration is necessary for the clinics. Then, once the teams are chosen, there are some practices before the season starts.  Then there are approximately 12 regular season games.

Q: When is the season?

A: We hope to start games around April 9th but that may be delayed due to a severe winter. We will go to approximately June 5th.

Q: When are the games played?

A: There is usually one game on Saturday morning/afternoon and another game on a weeknight at 6 PM. The day during the week may vary due to weather and scheduling.

Q: My player is 5 years old and has no experience with baseball. Where should she/he start?

A:  T-Ball (Introduction to Baseball) is the best place to start and get ready for the next level. It is a lot of fun!

Q: My player is older than the TBall age but doesn't have a lot of (or any) baseball experience. Can they start in the Coach Pitch League?

A: Absolutely! The Coach Pitch League is an instructional environment where kids can learn fundamentals while playing the games.

Q: Do you need managers/coaches/Team Parent/volunteers?

A: Yes! We are an all-volunteer league with many parents pitching in to make a great season of baseball for the kids. If you would like to help out, please email the President on the "Board" tab.

Q: Who can I contact if I have a question?

A: Reach out to any Board Member  - they are happy to help!

GB Baseball Families,

GBBC operates a FREE Equipment Exchange where parents of older players can donate gently used items that their player has outgrown to the next generation of baseball players. Parents (especially TBall and Coach Pitch) are encouraged to come down to the Shack and look through the items that have been donated before buying new equipment for the season. We often have bats, gloves, helmets, and cleats that are in great shape. The exchange is open to browse and donate anytime the shack is open. As you are spring cleaning or on your way to Field Clean Up, please drop off any items you come across that you aren't using anymore to help out the new parents in our League!
