The term regular practice means a practice location assigned to your team throughout the season at no cost. This is a recurring practice.

When you sign up for one slot on the links (example: FB Park, Wednesdays @ 6pm), that will be your practice slot EVERY Wednesday at 6pm for the entire season.

Free week is a list of specific dates (before the season starts) when the city allows your team to practice on a game field at NO COST. When you sign up for a free week slot, it is a ONE-time practice. Therefore you will need to get multiple slots (see instructions on specific link).

Both cities will rent you the fields for practices & scrimmages throughout the season for an additional cost, paid to the city.  Rental fees are listed below on this page.

Both practice options will be on a separate Sign-Up Genius link.

The next morning after the coaches meetings the practice coordinator will email ALL head coaches and team administrators a list of Sign Up Genius links broken down by city and practice type (regular or free week), a total of three links.

We send the email the next day to give everyone a fair chance to get the slots they want. Once the email is sent, please have a few top selections and back up selections. Poll your parents and know what days they prefer for practice days BEFORE the links go out. Once they are live selections will go fast.

The first time the links go out you will be limited on how many practice slots you can have for regular practice (recurring slots) and free week (one-time slots). This is to allow all coaches a chance to get a slot.

Once everyone has had an opportunity to select at least one slot, I will resend the links and you can take as many slots as you like.

All links will disable at 8pm five days after receipt. These are hard deadlines as CFBBA needs to provide the practice schedule to both cities to coordinate lights and field prep.

The 3 links in the email will be:

• FREE WEEK in Farmers Branch
• FREE WEEK in Carrollton
• REGULAR practices in Farmers Branch

Knowing what you want in advance is key. It’s first come first serve and they go FAST!

• Wed 2/5/25 for 7/8 divisions & younger
  
• Thu 2/6/25 for 9/10 divisions & older

Both meetings will be at the Farmers Branch Recreation Center @ 6:30pm.

Each team must send a representative! This can the coach, assistant coach, team manager, or parent.

Address: 14050 Heartside Pl, Farmers Branch, TX 75234
At the meeting we will go over this process and answer any questions you have for practice fields.

Remember, we are ONE league (CFBBA) but play in TWO separate cities. Therefore, the parks we practice at are all different in having lights or not, back stop or not, all grass or a real baseball field, time, and days of the week for availability.

Please do NOT just select any or the first field that is marked youth baseball in the drop down. 

The city assumes that you know which field you need and will not be checking this for you.

You must put CFBBA Coach in the comments, along with your team’s name and age division, so that the staff can cross-check with the list that CFBBA provided. Failure to do this could slow down the process and shift your spot in line. The list provided to the city is the list that is posted on our contacts page, and those are the only names approved to rent fields.

Once your field is reserved, you’ll receive an invoice from RecTrak, along with the gate code(s) associated with your field rental. There are instructions in that email with regard to how to pay. If you haven’t received that email, you don’t have a field, or it might be in your spam/junk folder. 

You MUST pay for your rental within 48 hours of that receipt, or your fields will be released back into the pool of fields to be rented by others.

Fields reservations are considered during normal business hours, Monday through Thursday 8am – 4pm. While they will do their best to address requests as soon as they are sent, they ask for a 48 hour window. Any requests submitted Friday through Sunday will be addressed the following Monday.

If the city closes the fields, you are eligible for a credit to your account, or a refund; however, you are responsible for contacting the city within 7 days.

You must contact the city within 48 hours to be eligible for a refund or account credit.

No, please don’t submit multiple forms. Simply enter the information for the first date on the form. In the comments, enter the additional dates. HOWEVER, if you are renting for multiple teams, please use one form per team.
