J Baseball is a recreational youth baseball program open to children from all over Kansas City. Practices will begin in August and games will start August 29th and go through November 1st. Games will be played on weekends. Additional weekends/Fridays may be used depending on weather. T-Ball will take place Wednesday evenings. While all league games will take place at the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park, league provided practice fields will be at Overland Park City fields.  Individual teams may secure their own practice fields elsewhere. League provided practice fields are allocated through a process to be described at the pre-season coaches' meetings.

Registration for the 2026 Fall Season opens March 21st. All players register individually. However, head coaches can register a team, and the system will generate a team code for them to share with their players. This code should be used during registration to join the team. Those without a specific coach may register as a "free agent" if they would like to be placed onto a team. Teammate requests are accepted.

Teams have separate practice and game schedules.  Practice day(s), times and locations are determined by coaches based upon field availability provided by the league or a field acquired by the coach. Each team is scheduled to play 8 games – on weekends - with a 60-minute time limit per game. Games will most likely be played on the turf, rarely on the dirt. Coaches can submit blackout days/times before the schedule is determined.  No scores are kept during games and coaches are encouraged to focus on skill development. Although outs are enforced (players making an out do not remain on base), a half inning consists of all players from a given team batting through the order.
