Yes, coaches are required to attend evaluations for their league, along with the league drafts that will take place within a few days following evaluations (league draft date and times to be announced during evaluations).

When will I find out which team my child is on?

Once teams for each league are assembled within a week after evaluations, coaches will reach out to parents to let them know (via phone, text, or the GroupMe messaging app). Please allow up to 2 weeks after evaluations to be contacted by your child’s coach, along with the practice schedule leading up to the first week of games.

What equipment will players need for the season? 

The BYSA league will provide:

• Jersey

• Hat

Please note that coaches will usually pick up their team’s jerseys and hats once they become available about a week before the season begins. Coaches will then coordinate distribution to parents from there.

Parents are responsible to provide:

• Glove

• Helmet

• Bat (most kids will have their own)

• Gray pants

• Belt and socks in team colors (coaches will share this info with parents)

When will the season start and end?

• Start Date: March 31, 2025

• End Date: May 2025 (exact date dependent on rainouts)

If you have questions, please contact us. We look forward to an exciting baseball season!

Thanks everyone, 

BYSA

P.S. 9th and 10th Graders needing volunteer hours can get hours for helping with evaluations.

Hello Parents,

Thanks, 

BYSA

Good morning!

What to expect: You will check in with our registrars when you arrive. Those who have not registered or paid may do so on Saturday. You MUST come Saturday to register, as there will no longer be an opportunity to register after this weekend since teams will be drafted immediately following evaluations. Parents are welcome to watch evaluations but will need to stay off the playing field unless you are coaching. Parents/family may sit in the bleachers to watch. Only players and coaches will be allowed on the playing field, dugout, or bullpen areas.

4/5 T-Ball League: This age group is the only one that DOES NOT have evluations. Parents will be contacted by a coach once these kids have been placed on a team. 

We are excited for this year's baseball season and all the great moments in store for your kids!
