American Legion Baseball
Helper American Legion baseball team will be Monday May 19th at 7 p.m. at the legion park in Helper. A player born on or after January 1, 1995 is eligible. A player born on or after January 1, 2002 is not. Therefore you may have a 19 year old who is eligible but you must also be at least 14 years old to play. If anyone has any questions on eligibility or anything they can contact me at 435-820-8379. With a good group of returning players from last year’s State Championship team I feel this year can be another very successful season.
Team registration and insurance must be paid by Thursday May 15. Our annual Helper American Legion Tournament will be June 19 thru the 22 in Helper.
