SPAA Fall Ball Registration will open on Tuesday, July 5 and close on Friday, July 22.  This will be for an 8 game Fall season, beginning August 15. 

Registration for Fall Ball is done on a team basis for both Baseball and Softball.  All teams will play at the age group they will be in the Spring of 2023. 

Teams should plan on having 1 ranking per  division, with all teams playing each other. 

Below are the amounts of teams that will be accepted per age group.  If some age groups do not fill, we may be able to accommodate more in certain age groups.

Games will be played Monday - Friday, at either 6 or 7:45 PM.  All games will be 1 hour 30 minutes in length.  

Team price will be $1000 per team.  You may carry up to 18 players on your roster and no new players may be added once you step on the field for your 5th game.  

PARENTS:  If you have an individual player looking for a team, check around with the teams you have played and see if anyone is planning on playing Fall Ball and may need a player.  You may also place an ad on the SPAA website under "Players looking for Teams".  

SPAA will update by 4 PM Monday - Friday, 7:30 AM on Saturday, and 11 AM on Sunday as to field conditions.  This will be posted above under Field Status.  Manager's and parents who have opted into communications should get emails with canceled game information.  This will also be posted on our Facebook Page.  

Those of you that practice at Strehl Field will be able to see that status above and on the Facebook page also.  This will be updated by 4 PM or as soon as we know.  

PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE SPAA OFFICE FOR THIS INFORMATION.  

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.
