You're in — Annapolis PAL Home Run Derby, Saturday Oct 3

You're registered for the Annapolis PAL Home Run Derby — thank you. Every swing you take on October 3 helps keep Annapolis PAL fields lined, gear on kids' backs, and registration fees from being the reason any kid sits out a season.

The details

Saturday, October 3, 2026 · 4:00–7:00(ish) p.m.

Derby on Fields 2 and 3; games, moon bounce, dunk tank, and fastest-pitch challenge on the soccer field

Concession stand open all evening — bring the family, bring an appetite

Arrive 30 minutes before your division to check in, sign your waiver, and warm up

Two things that help us a lot

Fundraise your swings. Your registration page has a personal fundraising link — send it to five people. Hitters who raise the most get called out at the awards, and a $50 registration that turns into $250 raised is what makes this event work.

Bring your people. Spectating is free. The more of Annapolis on that field, the better the night.

We need volunteers — could you give two hours?

This is a volunteer-run event, and we need about 26 people across two shifts (3:45–6:00 and 5:45–8:15) to pull it off: shaggers, scorers, grill and counter help, check-in table, parking, setup and breakdown. If you're hitting, ask a parent, spouse, or friend to grab a slot — and if you've got a couple of high schoolers who need service hours, send them our way.
