Note to Parent/Guardians: Due to the complexity of team creation, equity, scheduling, uniforms, pictures, etc., player and/or team adjustments will not be made after late registration deadlines.

Spots on the waiting list are fist come first served and a spot on a team is not guaranteed.
2025 Special Announcement: After the 2024 baseball and softball seasons, the City of Hickman has decided to proceed with an Umpire Organization for all home games and tournaments. This organization will accept our previous umpires with open arms and aid in their training and experience, while also providing more opportunities should they wish. We have also implemented a Parent Code of Conduct that all parents and guardians will be required to sign in order for their child or children to participate in each Hickman Youth Sport program. It is our hope that by implementing these new policies, we will assist in creating a safe, respectful, and fun atmosphere for children to play.
A $15.00 late fee will be added to all registration fees after February 1st, as noted on each of the registration forms.
To ensure all participants have an equal opportunity, one special request may be listed on your participants registration form. The City of Hickman will do their best to accommodate each special request.
