It’s almost that time of year for hundreds of local boys and girls: baseball and softball season.

Accordingly, Bend’s Little League organizations are gearing up by holding in-person registration events today through Saturday at Dick’s Sporting Goods, located in the Cascade Village Shopping Center on the city’s north side.

Children ages 5 to 14 are eligible to play in the two leagues — Bend Little League North and Bend South Little League. Both leagues offer baseball and softball for older players, and T-ball for younger players.

The boundary line between the two organizations, according to the Bend Little League North website, is Northeast Greenwood Avenue/U.S. Highway 20 on the east side, south along the Deschutes River from downtown, and then west along Galveston Avenue/Skyliners Road.

Bend Little League North will accept registration from 4 to 8 p.m. today and on Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Cost is $85. Bend South Little League will accept registration from 4 to 9:30 p.m. today and on Friday, and from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Cost is $65 to $95, depending on age group. Registrants for either organization must also supply a birth certificate and proof of residence.

Both leagues will also accept late registration after the in-person events for a slightly increased fee. Details can be found on the league websites (see “If you go”).
