Our goal every year is to keep our prices as low as possible for our parents because getting our kids out on the field is a priority. Our ability to do this is through volunteering and your sponsorships. Every year we have tremendous support and your generosity helped last year to purchase new catchers gear for all teams, new tees and other miscellaneous gear.  This year is no different and ask for your continued support by sponsoring a team, donating your time, or getting a banner.

 

BYL Youth League relies on community and business sponsorship to keep registration prices low so baseball is accessible to all kids. Your contributions support financial aid requests, equipment purchases, field care or general maintenance so our players have a great experience and build memories playing the game.
