1. How do I register my son/daughter to play?
   Players register through their local zone. Registration starts the beginning of February. Players who miss registering are still allowed to register but they must contact their local registrar to do so.

   Please see the Zone Map
    
   West Side of River:
   Players residing on the west side of the river are in the A's zone.
    
   East Side of River:
   Players residing west of Preston Ave. and south of 8th St. or west of Circle Drive and north of 8th St. are in the Cardinals zone.
   Players residing east of Preston Ave. and south of College Drive are in the Braves zone.

3. How do I know which league my son/daughter is in?
   Baseball players are categorized by their age as of January 1st of the current season's calendar year.
    
   • Players who are six years old or younger on January 1 play in the Junior Rally Cap Division.
      
   • Players who are seven or eight years old on January 1 play in the Senior Rally Cap Division.

   • Players who are fifteen through seventeen years old on January 1 play in the Midget League.
      
4. Are the teams in the different leagues tiered?
   All the leagues use a tiered system except for the Rally Cap Divisions.  Each zone is responsible for tiering its players during try-outs.
    
5. How much does it cost?
   The cost of playing baseball in the city varies depending on the player's age and the zone in which the player resides. Each zone sets its fees annually. 
    
6. What if we live outside of the city limits, but my son/daughter attends school in Saskatoon?
   Players living outside the city limits who wish to play baseball for a city zone may apply to do so. They need to apply to the Provincial Zone Six (Saskatoon) Governor by April 10th of each year. At that time the Zone Six Governor will contact the Provincial Zone Governor of the zone in which the player resides and request his permission for the player to be allowed to play in the city. Permission is not always granted by the local Governor.
    
   The zone boundaries used for out-of-town players are:
       A's:  West of the river
       Blue Jays:  East of the river and North of Highway 5
       Braves:  South of Highway 5 and East of Highway 11
       Cardinals:  East of the river and West of Highway 11
