Portage Minor Baseball's registration is underway in and around Portage la Prairie.

It's the first year the organization is offering online registration.

"This is the first time we've done it, and I think we launched Wednesday or Thursday last week, so it's pretty new," says President Nancy Funk. "We just got it up and going and we've had a steady number of registrations rolling in every day. Hopefully, once the word gets out a little more about online registration people will go to the website and register their kids there."

In-person registration will be March 15th at Stride Place in Portage.

"It's from 6 to 7:30," says Funk. "Maybe next year, or the year after, we were thinking we could move away from the in-person registration altogether to help with our volunteer hours, and strictly offer registration online."

Funk understands a lot of people don't have access to a credit card but explains there are other ways to pay fees online. "Because we've teamed up with Pay-Pal you can actually link your account right to your bank account. You don't have to strictly pay through Pay-Pal, you can use a credit card, or other online means of payments if necessary."

"If our numbers are close to where they were last year, we'll be happy with that," adds Funk. "Obviously we've seen some growth in all of our age groups over the years, so that's positive and hopefully, it continues."
