Baseball Families, 

Thanks for your interest in joining North Brooklyn Youth Baseball! Our fall baseball season registration is now open to new players! Below is the link for you to register for our fall baseball season. Before registering, please be sure to read the three important announcements below. Let me know if you experience any problems signing up or have any questions that aren’t answered below.  We really appreciate your interest!  

ANNOUNCEMENT #1 (Commitment): We would like to respectfully request that players signing up for our fall baseball season are able to commit to being at most or all of their baseball games.  We understand that occasional schedule conflicts/illnesses occur unfortunately, but it has been very disappointing for our committed players, when many of their teammates are absent from lots of games.  With that in mind, we respectfully ask that families participating in multiple sports/activities (i.e. soccer) check their schedule now to confirm that they can be fully committed to baseball this coming season, for the benefit of their child and their teammates.  (See schedule at bottom of this email.)

ANNOUNCEMENT #2 (Coaches Needed): We need you!  No experience required, only a love for baseball and a positive attitude. This league is entirely run by volunteers.  The more head coaches and assistant coaches that we have, the more teams that we can create.  Please let me know if you are interested in joining us.  It’s too much fun!

ANNOUNCEMENT #3 (Tweeners): If your player is between age groups (e.g. has a birthday during the season) you can select from two different age group options.  For example, if your player will be 7 years old at the start of season, but is turning 8 years old during the season, you can select either the 6-7 year old group OR the 8-9 year old group.  In other words, if a player with a mid-season birthday is new to baseball or needs more development, you should select the younger group. If a player with a mid-season birthday is advanced enough to move up, you should select the older group.

SCHEDULE: Our fall baseball season will start on Saturday, September 7th and end on Saturday, November 23rd. We are planning to keep (mostly) the same schedule that we have followed the past couple of seasons…

• T-Ballers (Ages 4-5) will now play at McCarren Park on Saturday mornings from 9-10AM
(Unfortunately, we don't have a permit for Newtown Barge this fall.)

• 6-7 year olds will play at McCarren Park on Saturday mornings from 9-10:30AM

• 8-9 year olds will play at McCarren Park on Saturday mornings from 10:30AM-Noon

• 10-12 year olds will play at Roberto Clemente Ballfield on Saturday mornings from 9AM-Noon 
(Note: The 10-12 year old age group is usually divided into two smaller groups, based on age/skill, using the field at different times during that 3-hour window but that’s TBD based on registration and coach availability. This age group also plays a game under the lights on Thursday evenings at McCarren Park from 6-8PM.)

Once the season starts, we’ll be able to hold optional practices for 6-9 year olds on weekday evenings at McCarren Park on a rotating basis. More info on that as the season starts.
