What are the payment options?

 

When you reach the payment section, you’ll see a few choices:

    •    Pay in Full – The best price option.

    •    Payment Plan (EFT) – A $150 deposit followed by five scheduled payments from January through May.

    •    Pitcher Only Pricing – A reduced rate available for players registering solely as pitchers.

 

Once your payment is processed, your credit card information is cleared from our system for security.

How does team placement work?

 

The Corn Belt League is made up of eight teams, all operated under the same league structure. Coaches are asked to recruit a core group of 5–10 players. After that, the rest of each roster is built from our player registration pool. The goal is to keep the competition-level as even as possible across the league while ensuring every player gets the chance to develop.

 

Here’s what that means for you:

    •    When you register, you can list a coach or teammate you’d like to play with. Early requests are usually guaranteed.

    •    If you register later in the spring, we’ll do our best to honor requests, but some positions may already be filled.

    •    If you don’t list a request, that’s normal — we’ll place you on a team where you’ll get meaningful reps and the opportunity to compete with the proper number of players at each position.

Is there an Early Bird Special?

 

Yes. Players who register before Thanksgiving lock in the lowest rate of the year and guarantee their roster spot without worry. After that deadline, pricing increases as the season gets closer.

What if I need more details before committing?

 

If you’re not ready to register but want to learn more, head to the “Request for More Information” tab under Registration. Fill out the quick form and our director, Joe Siwa, will personally send you details about the upcoming season and how the CBL can help you develop as a player.
