SYBSA believes in placing each individual league participant in a program/division that is most appropriate for their skill level and age. All players will be assigned to a league division/program that meets their needs. All players Pre-K through 8th are eligible for the spring season. Final division assignments will be released following the completion of registration. Due to construction at SHS, the days and times below may be subject to change, based on field availability.
Calling all volunteers!! Please consider registering to volunteer. Our league is 100% volunteer run and coordinated. There is many things we need help with both on and off the field of play. Without volunteers we will not be able to provide all of the programming we are offering this upcoming season. No experience necessary!!

Co-ed (Boys & Girls) Tee Ball (Pre-K & K)
The primary goals of Tee Ball are to instruct children in the fundamentals of the sport and to allow them to experience the value of teamwork. The time spent on teaching and should focus on fun, fitness, and fundamentals. With player engagement in mind, we keep kids in small groups as they transfer between hitting, fielding, throwing, and running stations. Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved as managers, coaches, and volunteers in a variety of other capacities, assuring a great experience for all players. No live player pitching is permitted in this division; over the course of the spring season, this age group will transition to coach pitch.
The league will run from 5/1 through 6/5, on Sundays from 1-2 pm at Deb Sampson. If two or more sessions are canceled in May, we will add a Friday evening make-up session on 5/27 and/or 6/3. There will be no Tee-Ball on 5/29 (Memorial Day weekend).
