The 2023 SYB Board of Directors will be holding their fibal meeting of the spring season on June 7 at the Michelle Field Blockhouse at 7:30 PM.  If you have any questions or requests that you would like the board to address, please email information@salemyouthbaseball.net 

Rescheduling plans and playoff schedules are being adjusted as you read this.  The unfortunate timing of another weekend storm continues to cause concerns for our regular season, our playoffs and the playability of our fields. Once we are able to develop a new schedule, we will be communicating it via the league and your managers. Thank you for your patience and grace in this trying time.  

If you are unable to make it to the field on June 3 during your teams scheduled time, please feel free to arrive at anytime between noon and 4:00 pm and Clix will take your players photos. 

Team photos are done digitally as in past years, so you will still be in the team photo if you are able to schedule a make-up session at Clix.

If you are unable to make it to the field on June 3, please call 603-952-4141 to coordinate a time to take your photo at the Clix Studio.  

Congratulations to our SYB players who were named to our District Teams for 10U, 11U and 12U.  The players and staff of these teams will represent Salem this summer and the SYB community is excited to support them!

Due to late season rain outs, we are scheduling make-up games for Majors and Minors this week and next.  Please check the master schedule and communication from your coaches for new games on your schedule.

This will result in Majors and Minors going to a Single Elimination Playoff format.  Farm will remain as a Double Elimination Playoff format. A playoff bracket for Farm will be shared once the regular season ends.

We would like to gauge interest in a 10U summer tournament team for those players who are not on the 10U district team or 9U summer tournament team but would like to continue playing competitive baseball into the summer. Please email minors division director Francis Schaufenbil ( ) if interested. If there is enough interest, we will schedule a try-out for later this week.

We ask the SYB community to be mindful of the facilities we use and the children and families around us and remind you that at no time is there permission to smoke, consume alcoholic beverages or bring dogs to the fields. 

We are excited to provide our next volunteer opportunity for families with the Block House (Concession Stand) sign-up page. which can be FOUND HERE.

Your volunteer time at the Block House allows us to keep the concession stand open during games. Also, it is a good way to get your volunteer hours in!  Please sign-up for a time that is convenient for you. 

If you are new to the Block House and would like a walk through of what this job entails or have any questions about the Block House, please contact

Sam Azzarello at .

If you have any questions about your volunteer hours, please contact

Arianne Buckley at . 

Thank you so much!

SYB wanted to remind each of our families of the volunteer and fundraising requirements for this season.  This is a volunteer run organization that prides itself on maintaining comparatively low cost registration and financial assistance so that all families in our community can access America’s Pastime in the Granite State. By asking each family to contribute to our volunteering and fundraising efforts, it allows this league to thrive and contribute to the physical and mental well-being of our kids.  

If you have any questions about the requirements for your family or would like to offer further assistance, please contact 

Fundraising Director: Lisa Ward ( ) or

Volunteer Coordinator: Arianne Buckley ( )

VOLUNTEER AND FUNDRAISING REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH SYB FAMILY

Volunteering:  4 hours per player (6 hours for a family with multiple players) 

Fundraising: 2 hour “tag day” canning per player + Calendar sales, minimum of 5 $10 calendars being required 

Additional information will follow through out the season on ways to complete volunteer hours, including assisting in the block house (snack shack) and field maintenance and preperation.
