Registration for the Fall 2025 In-House season is now full! 

CLICK HERE to be placed on the WAITLIST for Fall 2025 In-House Baseball

REGISTRATION CAPS:

We have now run waiting lists for three straight seasons. We therefore encourage you to register early to secure your spot as we continue to face space constraints at 48th & Woodland. We are taking some steps to ensure that PAYSA continues to provide a high quality experience for our West Philadelphia community:

As we did last year, once again in 2025 we will be putting a hard cap on registrations, by level, and strictly adhering to a waitlist once we have reached that cap. Thus, we encourage you to register as soon as possible to secure your spot(s).

DIVISIONS:

This Fall, PAYSA In-House baseball will once again be divided into five (5) divisions based upon age and playing experience:

PeeWee - introductory baseball-style activities intended for players 3 and 4 years old. PeeWee teams meet once per week on Saturday morning.

TeeBall - introductory team-oriented tee-ball with practices and games intended for players 5 and 6 years old. Teeball teams practice one evening per week from 6pm to 7pm, and play one game per week on Saturdays.

Rookie - introductory team baseball with live hitting off of pitching machines intended for players 7 and 8 years old. Rookie teams practice one evening per week from 6pm to 7:30pm, and play one game per week on Friday evening or Saturday.

Minors - intermediate team baseball with live hitting off of pitching machines with introduction to kid pitching intended for players with some amount of baseball experience, for players 9 and 10 years old. Minors level teams practice one evening per week from 6pm to 7:30pm, and play one game per week on Friday evening or Saturday.

Majors - advance level of organized in-house baseball with the goal of transitioning players from hitting off of pitching machines and to player pitch, intended for players with advanced baseball experience, for players 11 and 12 years old. Majors level teams practice one evening per week from 7:15pm to 8:45pm, and play one game per week on Friday evening or Saturday.

The age cutoff date will be May 1st. 

Practices will begin on Monday, August 25th and Opening Day will be Saturday, September 6th.

VOLUNTEERS!

Once again in 2025, ALL FAMILIES WILL ONCE AGAIN BE REQUIRED TO VOLUNTEER FOR ONE OR MORE ROLES. No baseball experience? No problem. We have many, many opportunities for folks who prefer volunteer jobs that require no baseball knowledge. We believe this requirement is essential to the sustainability of the league and the spirit of the PAYSA community. 

We intend our volunteer policy to allow us to run a successful league, not to place a burden on families. If the volunteer policy would place an undue burden on your family, please feel free to contact us at paysacommissioner@gmail.com. We will keep this communication confidential.

Everyone volunteering as a coach or assistant coach will be required to submit clearances before practices begin.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE

WE PLAN TO CLOSE REGISTRATION ON AUGUST 13TH, OR WHEN ALL SPOTS ARE FILLED! Please register as soon as possible. We are expecting the league to fill up quickly this year and may not be able to accept late entrants. All practices and games will continue to be held at the fields at the 48th & Woodland Avenue Rec. Center. PAYSA will not turn away any family who cannot pay the full registration fee. To be eligible for financial assistance you need to contact PAYSA before starting the registration process. Contact information is provided at the bottom of this page. All information provided/discussed will remain confidential.

QUESTIONS AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

If you have any questions regarding the registration process email PAYSACommissioner@gmail.com.

For those requesting financial assistance, PLEASE CONTACT US BEFORE YOU REGISTER. Discounts will not be able to be applied after registration has been completed. 

We are very excited to be back, and to see you all soon!

PAYSA is an all-volunteer non-profit organization so we are looking for people willing to share their time & talents in any manner from coaching, umpiring, field maintenance, fundraising & general support efforts.  All volunteers will be required to pass a background check and possibly be fingerprinted in accordance with new Pennsylvania State Law.  Please review the volunteer requirements on our Volunteer Info page under the Information tab.
