Open League Details (8U, 10U, 12U ONLY)
The goal of the Open League is to create an option for players to compete against a higher level of competition. As a result we believe this benefits our rec leagues by allowing kids more opportunities to play a variety of positions to enhance their development. Open League teams come from surrounding parks and communities. If you are interested in submitting an Open team into our league please contact me directly at
[email protected] as space is limited.
College Grove submits our own Open team into the league led by one of our many great coaches for 8U, 10U and 12U. We will be holding tryouts for College Grove's affiliated open teams in advance of our rec league evaluations this season (see Tryout information below).
- Open league teams play one doubleheader a week that is typically on a weeknight (M - F)
- Open league teams will participate in the SMTB Open Tournament in late October
- Typically two practices per week in pre-season and one practice per week once games begin

Flag Football
College Grove Rec is still working towards its inaugural Flag Football Season this Fall (fingers crossed)! If all goes as planned they should have registration open in July and their season will begin in August. CGR Baseball and CGR Flag Football are committed to working together to ensure games do not conflict with each other and that families will feel comfortable signing up for both sports. While the same commitment cannot be made for practices, we will be encouraging our rec coaches to be understanding and flexible in allowing our players to do both activities comfortably, even if that means missing some practices.
Registration Fees
College Grove is a non-profit organization and we try to keep our registration fees as low as possible. It is very important to us that every child has an opportunity to participate. If you require any financial assistance we may be able to offer full or partial scholarships for those in need. Please contact us at
[email protected] for further details.
