Programs

Take the next step on the diamond with the Pleasant Dale Park District 3rd–4th Grade Youth Baseball League! Perfect for developing players, this recreational baseball program provides an exciting opportunity to build skills, stay active, and enjoy the game in a fun and supportive environment.

Designed for growing athletes, the 3rd–4th Grade Baseball League focuses on improving core baseball fundamentals such as hitting, fielding, throwing, base running, and understanding game strategy. Volunteer parent coaches lead practices and games with an emphasis on teamwork, sportsmanship, and player development—welcoming both returning players and those newer to the sport.

Teams will practice once per week to refine skills and strengthen team dynamics, followed by Saturday games where players can apply what they’ve learned in age-appropriate, friendly competition. Every athlete will have ample opportunities to play, improve, and enjoy the excitement of baseball alongside friends and teammates.

Uniforms and official MLB/Minor League hats are included in the cost of registration, giving players a professional look as they take the field.

Keep your child active, confident, and engaged this season—join the Pleasant Dale Park District 3rd–4th Grade Baseball League and watch their abilities and passion for the game grow with every swing!

Baseball registration deadline is Sunday, May 10th. All players registered by the official registration deadline will receive a team uniform and hat from their coach on or before the first day of games. Participants registering after the deadline will be subject to a $20 late registration fee, will not be allowed buddy requests, and will be placed on teams strictly based on roster availability. Late registrants will not be guaranteed a uniform by the start of the season. Late registration will remain open until the start of the season OR until the program has reached capacity.

We are unable to accept requests for specific coaches or practice times on any registrations. Practices will be on weeknights between 4-7pm, and are based on volunteer coach preference and availability. Players that cannot attend their team’s scheduled practice will be offered the opportunity to practice with another team at a more convenient time.

NOTE: One properly completed buddy request will be honored per participant (See program guide for "Buddy Request Rules").
