  • March 3^rd / March 4^th
  • March 10^th / March 11^th
• We will plan on having a youth day at the High School Baseball Game on April 22, 2023
• BYBA’s Opening Day is tentatively scheduled for Saturday April 29, 2023

Our program puts an emphasis on fundamentals, participation, development, teamwork, safety, family involvement, and fun, all while developing an appreciation and love for the game of baseball. As a parent myself, I know what a thrill it is to see your child play for the first time and watch them grow and improve through the years. These are memories that we will all cherish, and I am pleased that you too will enjoy watching your children learn baseball and grow as part of the BYBA family.

For this year’s fundraiser we will be selling lottery calendars again.  We are asking every player to sell at least eight calendars ($80), families with multiple players registering will only have to sell four additional calendars ($40) for each additional player. When you register your additional players, please use the code ‘2ndplayer’ during checkout to reflect the four calendars required.  This only applies to your 2^nd or 3^rd player registered, not the 1^st.  The calendars are $10 and will correspond with the evening PA Daily Lottery number for the month of June 2023.  You will receive the calendars around your child's first baseball practice and they will be due back to the BYBA at Opening Day (tentatively April 29, 2023). Any unsold calendars will remain property of the BYBA. Any player that sells 25 or more calendars will receive an additional calendar for a chance to win (while supplies last).  There will be no buyout option for this fundraiser; however, if you choose not to sell the calendars to others, please return the information stub with your name on it for a chance to win.

Parents are required to work 2 food stand shifts per each player registered.  Links for sign-ups will be distributed once games and tournaments are set, but typically your shift can be covered during your players' games (with the exception for teeball when the food stand is typically not open for games but there will be plenty of other opportunities).  If you do not work your 2 required shifts, you will be charged $50 for each shift not worked.  Alternatively, you may opt for a $75 buy-out prior to the season, this option can be selected at checkout.

The BYBA wants every kid to have the opportunity to play baseball and have a limited number of scholarships available for those families who may have difficulties affording the registration.  Each request is reviewed individually and handled with confidentiality.  Please contact Bill Fredericks (bill.fredericks@brandywinebaseball.com) for further information.

If you need any help or have questions, please email bill.fredericks@brandywinebaseball.com.

Looking forward to a great season!

Thanks,

BYBA
