Sign Ups are live: Redbird Rookies Summer 2026

DeSales is proud to host Redbird Rookies, a FREE, non-competitive co-ed baseball and t-ball league for kids ages 5–13 — made possible through the incredible support of the St. Louis Cardinals and Cardinals Care. Running June through August 2026 at PAL Memorial Park in Fox Park, the program provides everything young athletes need, including uniforms, equipment, and meaningful off-field support like mentoring, health resources, and educational opportunities.

 

Registration is open now through May 1, 2026, and we’re currently welcoming both players and coach/parent volunteers to join the fun. It’s a great way for kids to learn the game, build confidence, and be part of a supportive community — all at no cost to families.
