Spring sports registration opens Jan. 1

Registration for spring sports runs from Jan. 1 – Jan. 25. The parks and recreation department offers baseball for ages 5-14, softball for ages 5-16, t-ball for ages 5-6, and spring tennis for ages 8-14. Registration must be completed online and is open from Thursday, Jan. 1, through Sunday, Jan. 25.

Grayson Touchard, a spokesperson for the parks and recreation department said about 1,800 kids sign up for spring sports each year.

“We do not place a cap on registration,” she said. “Everyone who registers will have the opportunity to play if there are enough players in their age group.”

She said parents will have about a week and half after Little League players have been chosen to register for spring ball if their child does not make the team.

The Parks and Recreation Department announced Nov. 25 that the department is now a part of the Little League Official Community and the holder of the new St. Charles Little League charter, bringing a new opportunity for young athletes across St. Charles and St. John parishes.

The newly established Little League program is open to boys and girls ages nine through 12 and will serve eligible athletes who live or attend school in St. Charles or St. John the Baptist Parish.

All tryouts will be held at the West Bank Bridge Park in Luling.

All registrations for spring sports must occur with the individual’s affiliated booster club, except for spring tennis.

The Parks and Recreation Department will provide registration information regarding track and field, First Tee-Greater New Orleans (youth golf), and SuperTots offerings in early 2026.
