Eagan Baseball offers two programs: In-House and Travel.

In-house baseball is available to players from Pre-K through their senior year in high school. Some older ages will travel to surrounding communities for games, but most play for in-house will be in Eagan. See registration tab for more information on in-house schedules. In-house is a less competitive, less time intense option for players who enjoy baseball but do not want to commit to a travel schedule. 

The Traveling Baseball program provides intensive skill development and a high level of competition. The program offers opportunities to develop confidence and teamwork while competing with teams representing other area communities.  

Eagan Baseball follows the EAA Scholarship process. Please see the documents below for EAA scholarship information and the EAA scholarship application. 

If a family does not meet the EAA scholarship requirements yet still is in need of a hardship scholarship, please submit the completed scholarship application form with an explanation of hardship needs and your application will be reviewed. 

If you plan to be a coach or assistant coach for EBA during the 2018 season, you must be current in your Concussion Awareness Training.  Minnesota state law requires all youth sport coaches to complete Concussion Awareness Training at least once every 3 years.  

If your training is current, be sure to have your certificate with you at all times in the dugout.  If you have never completed the training or need to update, you can follow this link to complete the CDC's online training module.  The training only takes 30-40 minutes and can be completed at your convenience.  Please be sure to print and save your Certificate of Completion.
