Don't FORGET ARBOR DAY!
Arbor Day Pledge 2014 - Your Team's TREE!
BYBSB and Beaumont-Cherry Valley Recreation and Park District are asking every team in the league to donate a tree April 25 in honor of National Arbor Day. This annual tradition at Noble Creek means MORE trees for shade and beautification of our park, healthy air, not to mention how cool for our kids to watch THEIR team tree grow each year! Meet with your team and bring your tree to the Noble Creek Quad area near the snack bar (field #1) at 4:00 p.m. April 25. Planting of trees will be from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. For more information on the type of tree and size, please see the flyer by clicking HERE.

**ATTENTION: Time to start thinking about ALL STARS!!! Teams in divisions from age 7 and up, PLEASE visit the BYB office during game times in the afternoon to pick up your All Star packets. Inside you will find All Star commitment letters, which look like this (CLICK HERE to see). Each player on the team will receive this commitment letter and it must be turned in by May 9 for your child to be eligible to be chosen for All Stars.
CLOSING DAY - Coming May 17, 2014
If you've come to one of our closing day ceremonies before, you know it's a FUN day, full of awards, friends, family, food and fun in a water slide, bounce house, and more. This year we have another fun Closing Day planned, and we want to make sure YOU come! There will be games on closing day, because the final games in tournament play will land on that day. So teams from ages 7 and up will have games to find out the top spot in each division! Your TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE will be coming out soon, and once your POOL play is done (the last scheduled date on the schedules you were given, or the schedule posted on the SCHEDULES page) you will receive the TOURNAMENT Schedule, and every team in every division ages 7 and up will be a part of their division's tournament bracket. All teams make it to tournament play, but from there it's a battle to the top! We can't wait to see some of those games! We have decided that teams in the FOAL division will also return Closing Day to play one last game (To Be Determined) and we would even love to invite the Foals, 6U girls and the Shetland Teams back for closing day to participate in a PARADE OF TEAMS! (how cute!!!) More to be announced about that soon!
THINKING ABOUT YOUR TEAM PARTY?
Time to start thinking of the fun your team will have celebrating the end of a season! Trophies, coach gifts, party plans - it's a lot to think about. Some Team Moms LOVE this stuff. Others wonder what in the world to do. Need some help? We've received a great flyer from the 66ers baseball team in San Bernardino, and they have LOTS of great ideas for your team party. To view that flyer, please click HERE. (it's a large file, full of pages about team parties, birthday party packages, fundraising, etc.) There's also great local restaurants like Antonious Pizza who have great packages for team parties, and Grand Slam Pizzeria Sports Bar & Arcade in Yucaipa, which always offers a team party coupon through our league (look for that to be delivered to your team soon). What about a KIDS vs ADULTS softball or kickball game??? If you want to schedule time on a field, you must contact Dodie Carlson and make sure the field is free before planning. That would be a GREAT team party! Whatever you decide, remember these kids and the parents on the team have built relationships in the past month that are to be celebrated! If you have a great party idea, send it our way at beaumontyouthbaseball@gmail.com and we will share your idea to get others brainstorming, too!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Meet Your Manager/Pancake Breakfast at Mountain View Middle School February 1st. We had lots of help, which we're thankful for, and even though we had teams without managers and coaches, we know we will find the perfect person for those spots soon. We thank you for your patience and your support. Especially your support of your teams in the team name auctions.
In particular we want to thank the Beaumont Unified School District and Mountain View Middle School for allowing us to hold our annual Meet Your Manager/Pancake Breakfast. We also want to thank Keith and Julie Short and their volunteers for their help in coordinating a great breakfast. They donated time and items to our breakfast and we are thankful. We also want to thank Perricone Juice Company, as well as those who donated items for raffles, and those who donated their time to help work the breakfast. Thanks to the coaches and managers who gave up a big part of their day to meet their players, parents, and attend meetings and auctions. Great coaches, players and families, staying positive, are what make this league great!
This is also a great time to go ahead and thank the Beaumont-Cherry Valley Recreation and Park District and the City of Beaumont for the preparation of fields for our practices and games. Thanks in advance for all the future preparation and maintenance of the fields throughout the season. It takes a village, and in this case a great city like Beaumont and it's residents, to make this whole league turn out as great as it is. You have our thanks!

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. |
We are PROUD to be BYB! Visit our HIGHLIGHTS page (or click HERE) to see some of the great things that have gone on in the past few years here at BYB.
Be the example
To all players, coaches, and family members: 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. Those emails are read and forwarded to the appropriate board member to handle and if you haven't gotten an answer to your question, check out our FAQ page on the tab at the left, where a lot of information was just added - you can find many answers there to questions we've been asked more than a few times.
Who's on the board?There are some new names on the list of Board of Directors for BYBSB. Go to the BYB Board of Directors and Contact Info page to see the new list, created after the election and board meeting August 21, 2012.

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
General Rules and the Rules by Division are up on the Rules & Forms page.
