IMPORTANT – ALL BASEBALL ACTIVITIES INCLUDING EVALUATIONS HAVE BEEN POSTPONED INDEFINITELY!

Hello to the SYB Membership,

We hope this message finds you healthy and well.

We continue to follow the direction of local and state guidelines as well as our local District 1 Administrator and Little League International as to when the kids can play baseball again.  Our plans still look towards a May 11^th start date.  We would try and hold evaluations and a draft on the 11^th and get everyone a practice in before we started games on 5/16.

We understand this is optimistic and things are changing every hour, but we need to plan for the best.  We want nothing more than our Salem kids to be playing baseball in 2020.

As an appreciation to the dedication of our membership over recent years we would like to offer the following refund option.  We will offer a full refund to any member who requests one at this time.  We are able to offer this refund and allow for you to re-register when we get the season started back up.  If you would like a refund for 2020, please reach out to Leo Martin ( ) and CC Sean Conway ( ) and we will work to get you a full refund.  For those committed to playing in 2020 we appreciate you keeping your registration active as we continue to work on the fields and facilities to prepare for baseball in 2020. We will also plan to have some raffles on Friday, in an effort to help our local business sponsors, for those who keep registration active.

Thank you very much and please understand we are working thru this just like everyone else in a take it as it comes fashion.  We will keep everyone updated as we can.

Thank you, stay safe, and get out side and play some baseball with your kids!

With the health and safety of our players, families and friends being top priority we will supsend ALL Salem Youth Baseball Activities(Bambino thru Babe Ruth) until May 11th.   

We will continue to monitor the situation and follow Little League direction on getting our season started as soon as safely possible.  We will be discussing our approach to getting back on the fields in May, or later, and will provide any details as soon as we have them.
