As our 2025 SPAA baseball season comes to a close, we’d like to take a moment to celebrate an incredible year on and off the field. Despite a very wet spring that brought unexpected cancellations and reschedules, we were fortunate to have a dry and beautiful fall that allowed for a smooth finish to the season.

The biggest highlight of the year was watching our players learn, grow, and develop their love for the game. From first-time tee-ball swings to amazing plays at the older age levels players made some great memories this year and every athlete showed determination, teamwork, and great sportsmanship.

We also want to take this opportunity to remind all league managers, coaches, and fans that our conduct on and around the field sets the tone for our players. Let’s continue to be positive role models and demonstrate the respect and enthusiasm that makes youth sports special for everyone involved.

A big congratulations for our League Champions and Runner-Up finishers this fall:

SPAA will continue to  run background checks on head coaches again this year.  Our insurance company has started to  require us to have a procedure in place for this.  Along with background checks, head coaches will need to take a 30–45-minute online class accompanied with a quiz regarding abuse prevention.  Upon competition of the quiz,  a certificate will be printed off to keep and SPAA will be notified that the requirement has been met.  SPAA will be requiring head coaches to participate in our background checks/ training and not another company as there may be different levels of training and background checks. This way SPAA is responsible for what is being trained and the type of background check completed.  

Concussion training will now be required as well.  Training will be conducted at the Manager Meeting on March 2, 2025.  If you are unable to attend , you will need to complete the training on your own.  We will send you the link and upon completion you will need to send the passing certificate into the SPAA office as proof.  Please reach out if you have any questions.
