grades 9-12.

• Registration for the Spring 2027 Season will begin in late

October 2026.

• There will be a $100 deposit for registration. The remainder of

fees will be due by March 1. The expected cost is $200-300 per

season.

• Fundraising options will be available.
• Indoor practices will begin in January 2027. These practices are

expected to take place at At Bat Lafayette, one weekday

evening per week.

• Outdoor practices will begin as the weather allows. These

practices are expected to take place at Arni Cohen Memorial

Fields in West Lafayette, one weekday evening per week.

season will end in May 2027, but we are likely to play in a few

tournaments.

• Games will be played against other homeschooled teams and

local high school teams within 1 hour of Lafayette (approx.).

• Most, if not all, games will be away games as we will not have a

dedicated “home field".

• 1-2 games per week are expected.
• Games and practices will not be scheduled on Sundays.
• Depending on practice schedules, boys will have the flexibility to

play on their summer travel team and HUSTL Baseball.

• Homeschooled, online, alternative, and other non-traditional

students may be eligible.

Other Important Details:

• We must have a minimum of 12 players to field a team.  We are confident that we will have a full roster.  However, if we do not have 12 registered players by the designated registration deadline, we will not schedule any games for the spring.  We may still offer indoor drills and practices, depending on interest level.  If we unable to field a full team, no fees will be required outside of the $100 registration deposit.  (The deposit funds will be used toward indoor practices.)

What we need from players:

• A strong desire to play the game of baseball and a strong commitment to the team
• Tell your friends about this new team and recruit them to play with us!
• You will need to provide your own baseball glove, batting helmet, cleats, and baseball pants (color TBD).

What we need from parents:

• Help with coaching -- if you or someone you know is experienced and/or interested in coaching baseball, please let us know.  We are in need of more coaches!
• Help with fundraising efforts
• Help with keeping books/stats during the games
• Flexibility and grace as we navigate our way through a newly-offered sport

Eligibility

HUSTL teams are traditionally open to homeschool children .  The baseball team, in particular, is for boys only.   Homeschool is defined as schooling that is parent directed through the home or organizations that are non-public, non-accredited, and non-approved by the state of Indiana.  Taking dual credit courses, e.g. from Ivy Tech, is counted as homeschool education.  We recognize that all educational situations are unique.  If your student/athlete is educated at home, online, in an alternative educational setting, and does not have access to athletic programs, please reach out to discuss eligibility.

High School Eligibility:  

Players are required to be between the ages of 14-18 years old (age requirement is as of January 1 of the yearly season).  (Please reach out to us directly to discuss any exceptions to this rule).
