Three Stars Shining & Signing
Three Sudden Impact softball players, and former Beaumont Youth Baseball players, signed their letters of intent Thursday night, November 14, 2013 to play for the colleges who have taken an interest in their abilities. Ashley Leffingwell will play at Cal State University San Bernardino, Maryah Cohen will play at Cumberland University in Tennessee, and Kaylee Gemmel will play at Cal State University San Bernardino. The girls are currently playing on the Sudden Impact 18U Gold team and have given many years of their youth to softball. We are proud to have had them play for BYB in the past, and excited to see their future. Way to go, girls. Enjoy the slideshow below.

We have all registration paperwork in our office, but if you'd rather COME PREPARED with your paperwork finished, go to the Forms page to print your own registration forms and get in and out of the BYBSB office quicker! We accept cash, check or credit card.
If you plan to be a team mom, coach, manager, or help out on the field with your child's team, you must have a background check done. The forms for the background are in the BYB office and there is a fee of $20 for the check, and we will need a copy of your drivers license.

Foal and Shetland do not attend evaluations. Please arrive for your evaluation in practice-ready attire. It's a good idea to bring your glove and a bat and to wear your cleats.

A Wheely Big Deal
Scooters, skateboards, unicycles, bikes, jet packs, hover boards, etc. are not
permitted around the snack bar and ball field areas. PLEASE remember
this as your child is begging you to pack the scooter into the car to bring
it to the park. Board members are having to crack down in this area because
of the amount of close calls we've seen, and well, it's the rules. This is not only for your child's safety, but the safety of those walking in these areas. Signs are posted. Thanks.

Be the example
To all players, coaches, and family members as we enter TOURNAMENT PLAY: Please remember how important appropriate behavior is at the ball field - at all times. Maybe it's Spring Fever, maybe it's a change in the weather, maybe the stars are aligned in a strange way - whatever it is, things have been a little too serious around the ballpark for some teams or divisions lately. If we all keep our focus on the fact that BYB is ALL ABOUT OUR KIDS and their fun and well-being, it shouldn't be difficult to act accordingly. We're here for the kids - all of us. If you need a little refresher on our Code of Conduct, please click HERE. ***And to all of you who DO behave with the utmost of kindness and good character, which you are modeling so well for young players, we sincerely thank you. You are what makes the league work and thrive.
Please, SLOW DOWN! Remember to PLEASE follow the speed limit signs within the park. We have seen so many close calls, or situations that make us cringe and think "SLOW DOWN, BUDDY!" As you drive through the park, please just take it down a few MPH. There is NO prize for fastest driver at Noble Creek, unless of course you have an RC car racing at Thunder Alley - and if you do, good luck. But in your big human car, 10 MPH please. Thanks!
Have you seen the video the City of Beaumont made highlighting our league? Here it is: http://youtu.be/tw8hKbgOFgE

Feed Your Herd! Team Snack Packages Available at Snack Bar
Are you on snack duty anytime soon? Did you know you can buy your team tickets to redeem for a drink and a hot dog or nachos? It's $2 per ticket, and if you decide on this instead of making your own snack bags, PLEASE purchase your team's snack package tickets before your game to let the snack bar know what to expect. Thanks! Play ball!
Our Snack Bar Will Keep You Full!
Hungry? Go visit the snack bar. Thirsty? Go visit the snack bar. Lonely? Go visit the snack bar. Need a hug? Go visit...okay, nevermind. Leave the snack bar out of that. Just go see Dodie. She'll give you a hug.
BY THE WAY, if it's a Saturday morning and you have a game, GET A BREAKFAST burrito. You won't be sorry.

Questions????Many of you have emailed questions to beaumontyouthbaseball@gmail.com and we appreciate your patience as we work to reply to them.

Practice, practice, practice!
Moms and dads, unless your child is an all-star and already back in the swing of being on a team, PLEASE remember how important it is for your child to maintain his skills through the off-season. Go play catch, throw them some ground balls, run a drill you saw their coach practice with them. Maximize your child's progress by practicing with them. It'll be worth it for both of you! Just IMAGINE next season!

Parking at Noble Creek
Just a reminder that there is no parking allowed in front of access gates on the outfields around the park. Also, please remember, parking behind Field 1 Right, past the yellow gates, is for authorized vehicles only for safety reasons. If you want to park behind Field 1 Right, PLEASE park parallel to keep the roadway as wide as possible. Within the yellow gates is not an open parking area and the yellow gates should not be passed or blocked by parked cars in any way. In the event of an emergency on a field, we want these emergency openings available to first responders. Thank you for your understanding.
Enjoy the game!
It shouldn't matter which side of the fence you're viewing the game from - good sportsmanship needs to be on the field as well as in the bleachers. As much as we encourage it in our players, we ask for it respectfully from our players' families and spectators. ENJOY THE GAME. And if you're not enjoying the game, get up and get a nice hot cheeseburger or some nachos from the snack bar. There's a 100% chance you'll feel better when you return to the bleachers with food! Here's a link to our Code of Conduct.
Rules and Schedules
Game Schedules can be found on the Schedules page, and the General Rules and the Rules by Division are up on the Rules & Forms page.
