♦FALL BALL 2017♦
Information about our upcoming FALL BALL season for ages 5 and up will be posted here soon. Normally our signups for the fall season begin around the end of July, early August. The season itself begins in September and runs until the weekend before Thanksgiving. Remember, Fall Ball is designed to be different than Spring Season. Fall Ball is more focused on skills and practice, even though there will be games. However, there is no championship at the end, no standings throughout the season. The focus really is supposed to be just the kids' development in the sport to better ready themselves for the next Spring Season. (We have no Foal -age 3 & 4 - division during Fall Ball).
We will post info about the Fall Ball season here on the website and on our Facebook page as soon as the details are ironed out. Thank you for your interest in Fall Ball!

OPENING DAY 2017 - THANK YOU!!!
Enjoy the slideshow above featuring some photos shared with us by Cindy Cabanas State Farm Insurance, a big supporter of BYB.
The Beaumont Youth Baseball and Softball Board of Directors would like to thank everyone for making our Opening Day Carnival 2017 a great one. We had a great turnout of teams with fun carnival booths for the kids, and we appreciate the TIME AND EFFORT those teams gave toward their booths. We saw very creative games, handmade and homemade designs with a lot of thought put into them, and we are so grateful to you for that. A big giant thank you to the kids and parents who we saw hanging out at their booths helping them run smoothly, with smiles on their faces, making the day a fun and memorable one for every kid who bought a ticket and played a game.
Thank you to The House of Portraits, and we'd also like to thank those who came out as vendors, like State Farm Insurance, Cindy Cabanas, Great Clips for Hair, Hernandez Airbrushing, Mama Mayhem, Soto Gloves, Tim Howard's Kettle Corn and more! We thank you for your support of our league.
To the volunteers who gave hours toward making our event run smoothly, we thank you! To Crystal, Shawnna, Sheila, Jessica and Alexis - we placed you in some busy spots to help us out, and we thank you for taking care of business! Also, to the volunteers from the National Junior Honor Society of Mountain View Middle School - we appreciate the time you gave to our league and your hard work.
Our BYB events wouldn't run smoothly with you YOU - the FAMILIES who gather at our park to make our kids baseball and softball experiences great. We thank the coaches and the team moms, and most of all, we thank those patient, funny, easily-pleased and ready-for-fun kids that make up our league. This is all for you and we hope you have a great 2017 Spring Season filled with fun memories, new friendships, and growth in your abilities in this sport we all love.
PLAY BALL!

Parking Fee Dates: We thank the many who were patient as you entered the parking lot at Noble Creek Saturday, February 25, 2017 during our Opening Day event. At some times there was quite a line to get in, and those at the gate worked hard to get the line moving quickly to accommodate people in a hurry to get to fields.
We thank those of you who were able to separate that frustration from the people taking the $5 fee at the front gate. The Beaumont-Cherry Valley Recreation and Park District does a great job at keeping our Noble Creek Park ball fields looking beautiful throughout the year, as well as the other facilities there at Noble Creek park. They're constantly improving the park, and if you've played ball anywhere else, you know how good we have it in Beaumont.
This season, some of the improvements you'll enjoy are lights on field 7 (which will ease some of the tension in our schedule, since we have one more field to use at night!), a bathroom remodel near the Thunder Alley R/C track, and more. The parking fee you will encounter a total of three times during the Spring 2017 season (Opening Day, Closing Day and April 8) goes directly back into improving and maintaining our park, which directly affects the fun and safety for your children playing in our league.

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.

"How do I sign up my child?" You can register your child for the Spring 2017 online by using our Online Registration budget toward the top of this website page. Or you can come in to one of our scheduled dates in the office where we can register you in person. We have the necessary registration forms in our office, and you will need to bring a copy of your child's birth certificate. You can pay for your child's registration with cash, check or credit card at our office.
"How do I find out which team my child is on?" Players find out which team they're on by attending the Meet Your Manager/Pancake Breakfast Saturday, January 28, 2017 from 7 a.m. - 11 a.m. or hearing from their coach (via the phone number you provide on your registration) soon after that date. Practices will begin around the first week of February, 2017.

"I'm interested in coaching, where do I start?" First of all, THANK YOU! We need great volunteers like you! When you come to register your child, pick up the Manager/Coach application and fill that out. We will also need you to fill out a background check form and pay for your background check. Both the coach application and the background check forms are available by visiting our Rules & Forms page. The background check is required annually, so if you had one last year, you still need to do one this year, for the safety and benefit of our children. The cost of the background check is $25. You will be notified before the Meet Your Manager/Pancake Breakfast if you are coaching a team this season.
"Who needs to get a background check done?" Anyone who is out on the field or in the dugout with kids during practices and games needs a background check. This includes parent helpers and Team Moms.
"I'd like to umpire. Where do I start?" If you are interested in being an umpire for the Spring 2017 Season, please contact us with your information and experience at beaumontyouthbaseball@gmail.com Your information will be sent on to Mike Dyer, Umpire in Chief on the Beaumont Youth Baseball board of directors.
"Do kids need to try out for the Spring 2017 season?" At BYB we have EVALUATIONS for fair team placement.
EVALUATION INFORMATION:
Every player from age 7 and up (divisions Pinto 7 and up for boys, and 8USoftball and up for girls) will need to attend ONE of our Evaluation dates, which will be held on Saturdays, January 7, or 14, 2017. The times for evaluations are broken down into their age division:
Pony & 16U: 9:00 a.m.
Bronco & 12U: 10:00 a.m.
Mustang & 10U: 11:00 a.m.
Pinto 7-8 & 8U: 1:00 p.m.
Players should be "practice-ready," meaning they should be wearing cleats, bring a glove, and bring any other equipment they use to show their skills in the areas they will be evaluated in: hitting, catching, throwing, running, pitching, etc. Arrive early to ensure you have time to sign in and warm up. Evaluations are nothing to be worried about, and if you're registered before or on the dates of evaluations you'll be guaranteed placement on a team if you have attended an evaluation date. Evaluations are useful for the league because they help us form balanced teams of individual players based on their evaluations records. It is necessary for your child to attend just one of the evaluation dates. Once evaluations are finished, team rosters will begin to be formed.

Refocusing on the Y in BYBSB
It's not BB (Beaumont Baseball).
It's not BAB (Beaumont Adult Baseball).
It's BYBSB. The Y is the entire reason WHY there's a BYB.
Here we are in the last two weeks of the 2015 Spring season, it's tournament time for most of the league, and this is an important time to STAY POSITIVE!
Parents, coaches, umpires and fellow players are all to be respected, but also respectable. The players themselves also need to be respected, whatever ability and talent level they're at. This is all basic knowledge, but somehow throughout the season, things get a little serious among teams in any division, and we need a little refocusing.
Whether you're a bleacher creature or a coach on the field, please remember the kids and how you want THEM to feel at the end of the game. Think of how you want THEM to have the desire to play again next season. Think of the values you want THEM to take away from this season.

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.
