I have posted a League Officer Information Form below.  Please complete this form and return by email (okkidsbaseball@cotc.net) or fax (918-987-1119) to the OK Kids office.  The information on the form is necessary if we have questions regarding teams in your league.  

The 2021 Registration will be enabled tomorrow, March 23 @ 8:00 am.  When you begin the registration you will need all information for the head coach, league, league president, and players.  At the end of the registration, each team is required to pay $25 non-refundable fee using a credit card.  Please do not begin the registration process until you have all the necessary information.

If you need to add players or delete players from your roster, contact the OK Kids office.  To do this I will need information regarding league, team name, head coach, age group, and player's information.  I will make changes from the administrative side.

You should receive an email once the registration has been submitted.  From that email you should be able to access your team roster and print a copy.  If you cannot do this, email the OK Kids office and I can send you a PDF copy of your roster.

As always, if you have questions email the OK Kids office at:  okkidsbaseball@cotc.net.

The team registration link should be available by March 8.  Before you begin the registration process you will need the following information:

1.  League Name

2.  Name and Contact information of League President

3.  Team Name

4.  Name of Head Coach

5.  Head Coach contact information

6.  All necessary information for each player (Legal name, birthdate, physical address, school)

7.  Credit card to pay $25 registration fee.  (The board voted to collect the fees from each team when the register beginning in 2021)

Rule Changes for 2021

OK Kids Changes for 2021

The following changes were made at the Board of Directors Meeting and the Annual Meeting on Sunday, January 31, 2021.

All team registrations must be made on-line and a fee of $25.00 per team submitted at the time of registration.  Leagues will no longer pay league dues to OK Kids as the team dues will cover the previous league dues.  The $25.00 fee is non-refundable if the team folds.

Bids are now required to host the Softball State Tournaments in the 8U, 10U and 12U age groups.  The maximum bid is $2,000.00. 

The 15u Junior High Baseball (formerly Preps) State Tournament will be held the week of June 21-27.  The actual dates will be determined by the participating teams.

The championship format for the State Baseball Tournaments has been changed.  Both the winner and runner-up of each bracket will advance to a four-team single elimination tournament Championship Bracket.  Last year, the two bracket winners played a two-of-three championship series.

Releases are no longer required for players that are not eligible for a team under the school or residence rule.  To be eligible for a team, a player must play for a team where he/she attends school or a team nearest his/her residence.  That part of the rule stays the same.  However, instead of being allowed three players requiring releases, a team may have up to three “at large” players that do not meet the school/residence rule.  The “at large” players do not require releases as in the past, but they must reside in the county of the team or a contiguous county.  In other words, the “at large” players do not need a release, but they must come from the team’s county or an adjoining county.

Teams may register with OK Kids and be eligible for the playoffs if their league does not play this season due to COVID.  This is the same procedure used last year.  However, if a team’s league does play this season, the team must be a member of that league and cannot just register without playing in their available league.

Items Tabled Until 2022

Any changes in the pitching distance for 10U and 12U baseball were tabled until 2022.  The Board of Directors will receive input and address any possible changes again next year.

Points of Emphasis for 2021

Teams should have enough players on its roster to be able to play in the playoffs in July, even if player(s) are injured or leave the team.  In the past for example, teams have rostered only 10 players, but at playoff time one has a broken arm and one is on vacation, leaving the team with only eight players and unable to play.

Leagues must notify the OK Kids office of their league officers so we have a contact person we can reach.
