WEBSITE:

• I forgot my password. How do I find out what it is?
  On the LDB website, click on “Forgot Password” on the Member Login. It will take you through the prompts to reset your password.

REGISTRATION:

• How much does registration cost?
  Registration cost varies depending on which division your child will be playing in, if there are multiple players in your household and if you will be doing the fundraisers and concessions. For a cost breakdown, please visit the website – Registrations tab.
   
• When are registration sign-ups? When does registration close?
  Registration begins in December. You may register online through Lancaster-Depew Baseball’s website or you may attend one of our walk-in dates. Please refer to the Registration tab on our website for more information.
• Registration is open through March.  After this date registration will remain open until the league reaches the maximum number of registrations in Tball, IPM, PM, Fed, Majors, and Seniors.  Once the maximum number of registrations is reached in a division, that age group will be closed.  Note other divisions may remain open. LDB will place late registrations on a waiting list and if there is enough players on the waiting list, league will create an additional team and register players.

CONCESSIONS:

• If my husband coaches, do we have to work the concession stand?
  Managers and Assistant Coaches are exempt from working the concession stand. They are still required to turn in a $50 equipment deposit check at the managers meeting. The deposit check will be refunded at the end of the season when the equipment bag is returned and evaluations are completed. 
  
  
• Where do I sign up for concessions?
  On the LDB website, click on ‘Member Menu’ and select ‘My Home’. Or you can sign up on the Registrations webpage under ‘Concession Stand Sign-In”. (note: you must be signed in to choose a concession date) 
  
  
• What is the last day to sign up for concessions?
  You can sign up as soon as you register you son/daughter for the upcoming season. It is preferable that you sign up before the season starts. 
  
  
• What date did I sign up for concessions?
  After you sign up for your shift, you will receive an email confirmation. If you forgot your date or did not receive an email, please email the league and the concessions admin will get back to you with your concession date.
   
• If I can’t work my concession stand date or miss my scheduled date, can I change it or reschedule?
  Once you sign up, we ask that you do not change the date. If you cannot work your date, you may get a family member or friend over 18 years old to take your place. If you do not work your shift, your check will be forfeited. If a situation arises, please email the league and the concessions admin will discuss it with you.
