Baseball Registration for 2012  and Announcements:
 
 
 Two ways to register for Forest Hill Baseball:
1. Through the U.S. Mail by downloading this registration form.
2. On-line (CLICK HERE) starting January 1
 
 Starting in 2012 for 13-15 and High School Baseball, all bats must carry a BBCOR certification and must have the BBCOR Stamp of Certification. Older BESR and non-certified bats will be illegal for use.  Bats used in 13-15 baseball must conform to a -3 weight to length ratio, meaning their weight in ounces can not be more than 3 ounces lighter than the length in inches.  In other words, 30" bats must be 27 oz, 31" bats must be 28 oz and 32" must be 29 oz.  Lighter bats can not be used.
 
 The next meeting for the 2012 Baseball season is set for February 13th at 7:30 in Forest Lakes E.S. Activity Room.
 
We are taking applications for:
- Rec Managers and Coaches
- 5-6 and 13-15 Age Group Directors 
- Tournament Host for Spring and Summer Classic
- Concession stand and volunteers to help with Opening Day
All are welcome and urged to attend and volunteer!
 

 

 

 
Welcome to Forest Hill Baseball. We believe our program is the best in Harford County, Maryland because we provide opportunities for youths from age 5 through 19 to learn, practice and play America's greatest sport with the emphasis on fun and learning, and never a "win at all costs" attitude....
