Thank you to all the teams, players, families, and fans that supported SPAA in 2021. SPAA genuinely appreciates your support!

The 2022 Season will be here before you know it! Team and individual registration will open on Monday, December 6, 2021, and team registration will close on February 25, 2022, or when we are full, whichever is first.

Teams:

Manager’s may begin setting up their teams on December 6. Please ask your parents to hold off registering their child until they receive the link from you inviting them to register. This will make a smoother transition to the players going on the correct teams.

Individuals:

If you are an individual without a team, you may register through individual registration, and we will form new teams. If you are on a team, please wait until you get an invitation from your manager to register to assure you get on the correct team.

Please check the SPAA Website for more information on our programs.

SPAA is looking for a few individuals that would like to help make a difference in our organization as board members.  Please feel free to contact the SPAA office at 636-397-3149 or Philip Heiss at 636-542-8309 for more information.  

SPAA Board of Directors wishes you all a very Safe and Happy Holiday Season. 

SPAA will be renting the fields (Strehl 92, 93, 94 and 95) and batting cages (A & B) at Strehl (6000 Hwy N in Cottleville) at a rate of $16 per 90 minutes. Strehl 94 is a small field that will hold up to 65-foot bases. There are no lights at Strehl. Portable mounds will be available for use. ABSOLUTELY NO METAL SPIKES ARE ALLOWED! Bases will not be provided. 

If you wish to reserve practice time, reservations for 2022 will be accepted in email form only beginning November 15 at 9 AM.  Emails have time stamps and those sent prior to 9 AM will go to the bottom of the list.  Once I confirm your dates and times, I will send you an email with the amount you will owe.  You will be given 10 days to either get me a check or call in with a credit card to cover the payment. After 10 days if you have not paid your balance due, your rental time will be given to the next person requesting it. Once I receive your payment, I will email out a permit for you to keep with you at all time.

You may request rental time for April 4, 2022, through October 2022. April through July time will be billed right away and requested time for August, September and October will be permitted out but not billed until the end of October to ensure as many credits are able to be used as possible. Once again, all permitted time for April through July must be paid within 10 days of receipt of bill. All credit for 2022 will expire October 31, 2022.

February and March practice times will be available for registered SPAA teams only at no charge. Once registration opens (December 6, 2021) and you set up your team, you may request the free time. These are only free for February 1 thru April 1.  Starting April 4 all teams pay $16 per 90 minutes.

The following times will be offered:

Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays
