(Kirksville, MO) - The Kirksville Baseball and Softball Association (KBSA) has transitioned the operation of its youth baseball and softball leagues to the City of Kirksville’s Parks and Recreation Department. The new league will be known as the Kirksville Baseball and Softball Leagues (KBSL). Kirksville Parks and Recreation is excited to continue offering our community’s favorite youth summer pastime, and hopes to provide enhancements to the league while carrying on the long-standing tradition of youth summer baseball and softball at North Park.

Early bird registration will begin on February 9, 2023, and end March 19, 2023. Intro to Coach Pitch, for kids 5 and 6 years old, will cost $50 per player. Coach baseball and softball leagues for 7- and 8-year-olds will both cost $60 per player. All divisions of baseball and softball for players over the age of 9 will cost $70 per player. Registrations received after the early-bird deadline through April 2, 2023, will cost an additional $10 per player. Registration can be completed in person at the Kirksville Aquatic Center, located at 801 E. Mill St in Kirksville, or online at parks.kirksvillecity.com.
