How to get value of selected date with jquery datepicker

Question

I've been using the jQuery datepicker quite successfully for some time now. But, since I've began to add more features to my site, I need to expand on this function a bit. I need to be able to get the value of the date that is currently selected. My code is as follows:

$(document).ready(function() {
        $("#datepicker").datepicker({
            dateFormat: "d MM yy",
            onSelect: function(dateText) 
            { 
                var url = "schedule_backend.php";
                var league = "I need help";
                var data = "date="+ dateText +"&league="+ league;
                $(".schedule_block").load(url, data);
            }
        });

        $("#division_change").change(function() {
            var url = "schedule_backend.php";
            var league = $('input:radio[name=league]:checked', '#league_form').val();
            var date = "I need help";
            var data = 'date='+ date +'&league='+ league;

            $('.schedule_block').load(url, data);
        });
    });

<div class="schedule_block">

</div>

<div id="datepicker">

</div>

<form id="league_form">
    <h1 style="padding:3px;">
        <input type="radio" checked="true" name="league" value="mlb" id="mlb"/> <img src="/img/misc/mlb.png" width="35" height="35" alt="mlb" title="MLB" class="telephone"/> <span style="color:#090127;font-weight:bold;">MLB</span> <br />
    </h1>
    <h1 style="padding:3px;">
        <input type="radio" name="league" value="nfl" id="nfl"/> <img src="/img/nfl/misc/nfl.png" width="35" height="35" alt="nfl" title="NFL" class="telephone"/> <span style="color:#090127;font-weight:bold;">NFL</span> <br />
    </h1>
    <h1 style="padding:3px;">
        <input type="radio" name="league" value="nba" id="nba"/> <img src="/img/nba/misc/nba.png" width="35" height="35" alt="nfl" title="NBA" class="telephone"/> <span style="color:#090127;font-weight:bold;">NBA</span>
    </h1>
    <h1 style="padding:3px;">
        <input type="radio" name="league" value="ncaa" id="ncaa"/> <img src="/img/ncaa/misc/ncaa.png" width="35" height="35" alt="ncaa" title="NCAA" class="telephone"/> <span style="color:#090127;font-weight:bold;">NCAA</span>
    </h1>
</form>

Is there any other way for me to get the value that is currently selected other than the onSelect option for the datepicker function?
