Hello Eagan Baseball Families! 

We hope that you all have had a good abbreviated baseball season! it definitely has been a different year! 

A few items of business:

Refunds currenty are being processed by EAA and will be issued in the form of  a check. Checks will be mailed to the primary address in the registration database.  If you have had an address change, please let us know (or we will reach out regarding any returned checks). The total cost of the season (excluding any jerseys ordered, etc.) is $200.00 and refunds will reflect this. EAA is processing refunds now and they will be mailed out in August. We appreciate your patience with this matter. 

Gaiters- There was a very positive response to the cooling gaiters that EBA provided for coaches and we have decided to order some more and offer them for purchase to players and families. The youth gaiter dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8" and the adult dimensions are 10" x 21". Cost is $13.00 for youth gaiters and $16.00 for adult. They will be the same as the coach gaiters- royal blue with the green Eagan "E." Please let your team manager know if you are interested in purchasing any. 

11U teams- Save the Date! We are still planning to have fall tryouts for 2021 12U teams (current 11U players). The tentative dates for this are Wednesday, September 9 and Wednesday, September 16. Please mark your calendars and spread the word!

Camps at The Cages. There are still some camps being offered at The Cages in August. The remaining dates are the weeks of August 10 and August 17. Please click here to be directed to the sign up pages for more information. 

Enjoy the end of summer!

EBA

Our Eagan Baseball family suffered the tragic loss of our friend and teammate, Patric Vitek.  Patric was a member of our 2019 Cooperstown team and was heavily involved in sports year-round in EAA.  He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. 

The 700+ member families of Eagan Baseball Association, as well as the EHS Wildcats Baseball families stand ready to support the Vitek family however we can.  We ask that you please keep Patric’s parents, Brian and Cheryl Vitek, their younger son Jack, and all of his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

The Eagan Baseball Association is looking for individuals interested in joining the board for the 2020 season for the following position:

Community Builder: Run social media, our United Heroes League relationship and Youth and Alumni Day in the Spring.  Fun role with great potential.

Interested? Contact Brigitte King at communications-baseball@eaasports.org

The Eagan Baseball Association and the Eagan Athletic Association were pleased to welcome United Heroes League to our fields on June 22.  United Heroes League (UHL) is a national organization whose mission is to keep kids of active military personnel healthy and active through sports by providing new and used equipment, grants for association fees, camps, and more.   

Thanks to all who came out to support EBA and make the evening a success! 

We even had had a guest visitor stop by! Twins Alumni Juan Berenguer came out! 

It was was a fun night and we raised a lot of money for EBA!

Thanks to generous fundraising and sponsorship, as well as support from the City of Eagan, the EBA has been doing construction on dugouts for two DHMS Fields! Pictures to come soon- drive by and check out the progress!! Thanks to Dave Young, EBA Facilities Director and all the parents who helped with Construction! 

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.

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.
