Updated 3/6/14 5 p.m.
Revised Picture Schedule for Saturday, March 8, 2014
Remember, Saturday, March 8, 2014 is also the day of our Goodwill Fundraiser. Follow the signs to the RV park area of Noble Creek Saturday to drop off your Goodwill donations. We will be accepting donations to fill the trailer from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This is the last day to bring items. When the truck fills up, it's off to Goodwill! The raffle drawing (for Goodwill donations only) will be held that day to determine winners! Good luck and thanks for your donations!!!
All games on field 7 will need to start at 4:45 p.m. due to daylight for this week of March 3 - 7 only. Thanks!
FYI: During the week of March 10 -14, games that are scheduled for 5 p.m. MAY have to start with a slight delay due to a high school tournament happening in our park.
Schedules are up! Go to the SCHEDULES page by CLICKING HERE and see your schedule! PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, schedules are subject to change. (12U and 16U are reposted as of 3/2 @ 3:36 p.m.)
UPDATE: Opening Day Ceremonies, Carnival and Team Photos are POSTPONED due to the upcoming storm forecasted for our area. Team Photos will now be held Saturday, March 8, 2014 but the schedule of times will be changed and will be posted here and on the Facebook page shortly.
The Opening Day Carnival and team booths will be held Saturday, March 15 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Raffle tickets for opening day drawing can be turned in all the way up until 10 a.m. on March 15. After 10 a.m. it'll be locked and your ticket won't make it into the drawing, so if you can bring it to the park before then, that's a great idea! We had a nice long list of teams who were running booths for the carnival, and along with the bounce houses and other fun additions, that carnival will be a great event! And hopefully, SUNNY!
ALSO, a note about the PHOTO package that is included with your registration fees: The picture package packet can be a little difficult to understand when you first look at it. Please note that with your registration fees, you get the "registration" package, which includes one Memory Mate (basically a large photo paper which combines your child's photo with the team photo on one sheet), two 3x5s, 8 wallets and one button. If you wish to ONLY receive this REGSTRATION packet which you've basically already paid for, then please just fill out the order info at the top of the order envelope. You do not have to make any marks of which package you want unless you want something EXTRA in addition to the registration package. Photos will be taken on field 2 beginning at 8 a.m. and the last photo time slot is 1:20 p.m. Please arrive a few minutes early with your team near field 2. Only managers, coaches and team moms are allowed on the field with the teams as their photos are taken. Once your photo is finished, you are free to enjoy our Opening Day carnival and ceremonies - so many teams have signed up to host a fun booth, and we appreciate your willingness to add to a great day!
Coaches/Managers/Parent helpers: PLEASE remember it's your responsibility to remove your bases and mounds at the end of your practices.
IS YOUR TEAM hosting an opening day carnival booth? If so, please email your booth concept to beaumontyouthbaseball@gmail.com so we can get it on the "map" of the field it will be on. We want to make sure we know who is setting up what kind of booth so we can assist in making that easier for you.
Spring 2014 Season is here!
Opening Day, March 1, 2014. Closing Day, May 17, 2014.
GAME SCHEDULES: They are up now on the SCHEDULES page - click HERE to go there now.
Can you still register? Yes, but please hurry. Teams are already formed and the later it gets, the more your child misses out. You can register at the BYB office anytime a board member is present, which is every week night during practice times at the park. Best time to come is after 6 p.m. The best place to find one of the board members is at the BYB office right next to the snack bar that sits in the middle of fields 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Meet Your Manager/Pancake Breakfast at Mountain View Middle School last Saturday. 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.

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.
