Welcome to Forest Hill Baseball and Softball. Our programs provide fun and challenging opportunities for youths ages 5 through 20 to  learn,  practice  and  play America’s greatest sport. As one of Forest Hill Recreation Council’s largest programs, we register about 300 players on 45+ teams at two levels of competition: Recreational level and Travel baseball. We also have about 100 players registered in our fall program. At Forest Hill, we stress safety, fun, and fundamental baseball skills as our primary concerns. We believe that the love for baseball or softball and the desire to play is developed through coaches who demonstrate proper instruction and patience, not through screaming and intimidation. We believe that proper sportsmanship and fair play are the best qualities that can be taught, and that while doing your best and winning games is the ultimate goal, making mistakes is also part of the game. Our players are taught to win and lose graciously, and there is no room for coaches, players or parents who do not exhibit good sportsmanship. Forest Hill has a long-standing reputation as an organization that sets and upholds a fair and reasonable set of rules, and we pride ourselves on strict adherence to our policies which are applied consistently to each coach, player and parent. Fairness to all means no one gets an improper advantage. We also believe that proper and effective communication with our families and other Rec Council programs provides the opportunity to reach out and improve our baseball program by interacting with others who share similar interests. Our meetings are open to all, we partner with nearby baseball programs through inter-league play and umpire service, we host County-wide tournaments every spring, and we support our local businesses whenever we can. Our facilities are some of the best in the County, and we are continually looking to improve and refine all aspects of our programs. We welcome you to browse through our web site, www.foresthillrec.com, where you will find news and information that is updated almost on a daily basis. We are always looking for new players and volunteers that make Forest Hill the great program that it is. Meetings and registration starts in January. We hope to see you there!
