This scholarship was developed and funded by the family of Jim Harelson, in his memory.  Jim was a coach in the Forest Lake Baseball program for many years and left a lasting impression on the community and many of the players he helped to develop.  Jim and Marge both believe in providing a positive experience for the players, as well as developing skills.  The family would like to remove some of the financial barriers to play travel baseball.  If you are seeking financial assistance to cover 50% of your registration fees, please complete this form and send to loriharms5@gmail.com.   Since we have limits on the number of participants that can receive the scholarship, the executive committee for the Forest Lake Baseball association will review applications and notify the parents in advance if the scholarship has been awarded.  

The application is due by March 1st.  Please do not register for the upcoming traveling season until you hear about the scholarship application.

*** Uniform Fittings  DATE ADDED 9U-14U 2022 Players ***

ON MONDAY, JANUARY 24th at 5:30 PM we have added another uniform fitting session for those who missed the first two.  Players intending for travel ball or North Star are encouraged to attend if you haven't made the Jan 3rd/10th sessions. 

Given the supply chain issues we have been advised by our uniform vendor to order uniform pants as soon as possible for the upcoming season.  Any player who is unable to complete the uniform try on we will not be able to guarantee uniform pants will be delivered in time for the start of the season.

Date: January 24th 5:30 - 6:15 PM

Location: Forest Lake High School (Athletic Entrance)

Go Rangers!

Registration for 9U-14U is now open, use the registration link below to sign up today.  Please pass along the word to your friends so we can grow the number of players in our association.  

We can't wait for the season to start! 

Tryouts for the 2022 season will be held on March 19th and March 20th at the Forest Lake High School.  Specific age group schedules will be made available closer to tryouts. 

If you have any questions please reach out to the board.
