Time to start thinking about Winter Ball!
The Beaumont Youth Baseball Board of Directors met this week to discuss the next season, our Winter Ball season. Our Winter Ball season generally runs from mid September through November, usually ending just before Thanksgiving. Teams will practice during the week, and games will be played primarily on Sundays and some Saturdays, not all at Noble Creek, some games will be played out of town, possibly in Moreno Valley, Yucaipa and other local cities. The cost will be $100 per player for the season, and children 5 years and up are welcome to join. During our Spring Rec ball season we do have a division (FOAL division) for children ages 3 and 4, but we do not have that division during the Winter Ball season. We are working on getting some sign up dates together and those will be posted here as soon as they're decided. Our website and Facebook page are the quickest ways to find out what's going on at BYB!

Interested in helping out on the BYB BOARD?
The Beaumont Youth Baseball and Softball Board of Directors will be holding our annual board election during our meeting August 5, 2014 at 7 p.m. inside the BYB office at Noble Creek Park. The office is located between fields 1 and 2, just behind the snack bar, and has a large baseball and softball at the front entrance of the building. If you are interested in helping on the BYB board in any way, whether you are considering a board position or a committee position, please come to the meeting and learn more about volunteering with BYB. Elections are necessary to fill board positions, but not necessary for committee positions. Committees consist of groups who help out with special events (like opening and closing day ceremonies, etc.), ways and means, team mom coordinators, and general organization of events at the park under the BYB umbrella. We are always in need of volunteers to continue the success of the league and keep it fun for the players and their families. We'd love to see you at the next meeting and look forward to meeting you!

Wow! Thanks to everyone who came out Monday and Tuesday, June 9 & 10 to clean up the park (that was a lot of work, and our park is already in great shape!) and THEN decorate it in time for our warm up boys tournament! The park looks GREAT, and I'm pretty sure Dodie would hug each and every one of you if she had the time!

Team Standings (before tournament)
- Spring 2014
Family, friends, BYB players, and local law enforcement & fire agencies gathered for a pre-game moment of silence May 2, 2014 on field 6 in remembrance of Shetland Yankees Manager Shaun Jarvis. Balloons were released in his memory by his family, players from his son's team, which he managed, and the opposing team members, and the game went on. We thank those who quickly organized the event, as well as everyone who came out and took time to support his family. BYB is grateful for the time he invested in coaching his team.
Monday, May 5, 2014, before his daughter's softball game, another moment of silence was observed for Mr. Jarvis. Teams from all over the park came in support of his family, and more balloons were released. We at BYB are so touched by the pouring out of support for this BYB family and we thank you all for participating in a display of love and encouragement for his wife and children.
He will be missed.

Even the little guys help out with picking up the bases.
Coaches/Managers/Parent helpers: PLEASE remember it's your responsibility to remove your bases and mounds at the end of your practices. Also, remember ALL off site practice fields are off limits on weekends, and Valdivia Field/Rangel Park is off limits Tuesdays and Wednesdays as well.

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 own 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.

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.
