Natchez Diamond Youth Baseball is holding in-person registration this Saturday, February 26th from 9-11 AM at the Sports Center. The youth baseball program, powered by Natchez Parks and Recreation, offers online registration that ends on Friday, but will have staff on hand to assist with sign-ups and answer questions about the upcoming spring season.
Why it matters
The Natchez youth baseball league provides an important opportunity for local kids to learn the sport, make friends, and develop character in a safe environment. The league relies on community support in the form of volunteer coaches, sponsors, and participants to keep registration fees affordable and the program running.
The details
In addition to the standard youth baseball divisions, the 2026 season will feature a new 11-12 O'Zone division. Coaches are needed to mentor players and teach fundamentals, and local businesses can sponsor the league at various tiers to help keep costs low for families. The 8-week season is scheduled to begin with opening ceremonies on April 3 and run through May 21, with games played on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at the three baseball fields in Duncan Park.
