Ball registration will be held Saturdays this month in Century, Molino and Walnut Hill, and there have been some big improvements at the Molino ballpark. Schedules and registration information for all three parks are below.

There are five new batting cages in place this year at Don Sutton Park in Molino. Two new awnings have been installed over several of the bleachers, and organizers say that will be a big improvement for parents watching the games.

Living Water Fire Protection provided all of the materials for the frames  on the new batting cages, says Arty Kleinatland, president of the Molino Recreation Association.  The netting was funded by hosting last year’s NWFGSA softball tournament at the park.

“We continue to improve our park in an effort to retain and attract the Molino children to our park instead of going to bigger parks to the south,”  Kleinatland said. “In an effort to allow all children to play ball, we have reduced our registration fees.” The fees for the first child playing ball this year in Molino have been reduced from $65 to $50.

Registration will be held  each Saturday for the Molino Recreation Association at Don Sutton park in Molino. Registration will continue each Saturday from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. through February 23. The annual draft will be February 28.

Registration fees have been reduced this year due to the economy. This year, registration fees are $50 for the first child, $45 for the second, $40 for the third and free for additional players from the same family. A birth certificate copy is required to be on file for each child.

Teams for the Molino Recreation Association will include:

  • Wee Ball –ages 3 & 4
  • Tee Ball — ages 5, 6 & 7
  • Baseball — ages 8 to 15
  • Girls Softball — ages 8 to 16

If you would like to coach or just help out on your child’s team, you can sign up on the day your child is registered. For more information, call 587-4090.

Registration for Northwest Escambia Little League baseball continues each Saturday until February 21 from 10 a.m. until noon at Bradberry Park in Walnut Hill.

The cost is $35 for the first child from a family, $25 for the second child and free for each additional child. A copy of each child’s birth certificate is required for registration.
