The major league registration period has been extended through the parents meeting to be held tonight, Thursday, April 5, at 7 p.m. in the Melrose school multi-purpose room. All other age group registrations can also be submitted at this time. Registration forms will be available. Parents of new players are encouraged to attend this meeting for important information.

Boys and girls, ages 5 through 12 on April 30, are eligible to play in the Cal Ripken divisions. Players are requested to bring a birth certifi- cate to registration and if not available, it must be provided by April 23. Try-outs for major leagues (ages 9 through 12) and boys Babe Ruth (ages 13 through 15) will be held this Saturday, April 7, at Around the Horn Sports Center, 3377 South County Trail in East Greenwich. Players 9 years old and older, who have not played on a major league team, need to try-out if they wish to play on a major league team.
