Getting started in baseball is easy. The support of coaches, teammates and friends make the experience enjoyable. Teams are structured in such a way that new players rarely feel intimidated or reluctant to try. Positive encouragement from coaches and teammates is one of the reasons UYBA has earned a good reputation for good sportsmanship. Many new kids after a few of practices and games settle right into the flow of the game and develop into team leaders.
Baseball is a not an expensive sport to get started in. Most sports stores care a wide range of gloves that are between $20.00 - $50.00 and will last a few years. Some youth prefer to purchase their own bats which typically start in $20.00 - $30.00 price range.

Helmets are required and can be purchased in the $15.00 - $25.00 range.

UYBA supplies each team with bats for regular season play.

In our experience by focusing with the kids on the core fundamentals of baseball -
  • running
  • catching
  • batting
  • throwing
a healthy amount of physical activity is provided in an enjoyable setting.
House league activities (games and practices) take place on the weekday evenings - approximately 6:30pm - 8:00pm. While the Opening and End-of-Season tournaments typically take place on a weekend, and wrap up mid-afternoon. Over the course of a two week period, our house league teams will typically play 3 scheduled games and have 1 practice session.
Make-up games are factored into the season scheduling to avoid disruption in family life.
If during an afternoon there is a significant rainfall that could prevent a game from being played, an update (via email) will be relayed to parents/guardians in a timely fashion. Typically the email is sent to parents 45-60 minutes before game/practice time.  Please ensure we have a current email address on file.
