2025 AA INFORMATION
The Hawks have provided the youth of our community the opportunity to play competitive baseball for many years. The Hawks are one of many clubs of the Arapahoe Youth League (AYL) and serve the youth in Parker and the surrounding communities. The Hawks baseball program offers multiple levels of play during the spring and summer. These levels and their descriptions are listed below:
REGISTRATION
Online registration begins mid-December each year. Registrations are accepted on a first come first serve basis (based on when you signed up online and full payment has been received). A limited amount of space is available and programs do fill quickly. The registration fee is $425 U6-U7 and $445 U8-U14 per player. Registration without a full payment does not "hold" a spot on any roster.
SEASON DATES
Practices start the end of February/first week of March (all levels) depending on field availability. Games typically start in late March/ early April (AA). Double Elimination playoffs start the first or second week of June and will conclude by the end of June/early July with the AYL World Series. Games for the playoffs can be played any day of the week. The AYL tries not to schedule games over Memorial Day weekend and on Easter Sunday. Mother's day will have games.
