*Rec program levels are determined by the current age/grade level at the time of registration. Travel program age levels are determined differently.
Recreation programs start at age 4-6 with our Tee-Ball League. The Tee-ball League is co-ed and designed to introduce the game of baseball. Tee ball practice/games take place on weekends (mainly Sundays, 9-11 & 10-12) but weather may force a reschedule to a weeknight occasionally. 1st and 2nd graders play Pinto, 3rd and 4th graders play Mustang, 5th and 6th graders play Bronco and 7th and 8th graders play Pony. 15-16 year old play Colt level. 17-19 play Palomino level.
Recreation programs run April-June with an additional offering in most divisions of All-Stars in July. HAC has no fundraising commitments in our recreational programs. Please refer to on-line sign up section for complete pricing.
Registration typically takes place in January through February each year.
**PLEASE NOTE** Due to low enrollment numbers, some age groups may be placed in a local league outside HAC that will require some travel to neighboring towns (Lockport and/or Lemont) on Saturdays. This will be determined once the enrollment period is over in March.
PART TIME HEAT TRAVEL programs involve a tryout for the team. These tryouts typically take place as early as mid-July. HEAT travel teams train indoors January-March, then players join their respective recreation league program in April. The HEAT team may play 10-12 games in addition to their recreation schedule April-June. There may also be additional practices. HEAT teams DO NOT play in the fall. HEAT program fees can vary based on team winter training and tournament schedule. Fundraising opportunities are offered to defer fees. Fees range from $500-$750, in addition to recreation fees.
FULL TIME HEAT TRAVEL programs involve a tryout for the team. These tryouts typically take place as early as mid-July. HEAT travel teams will practice during the winter months indoors, then plays a season of 30-60 games, including 3-6 tournaments April-July.
