We are happy to announce we are adding Intermediate Level play for 2020.  This will be open to 13 year olds and will be played on the 50/70 diamond.  Games will be played against surrounding towns in Salem and on the road.

Beginning in 2020, based on numbers, we may open up some spots for some of our 6 year olds to play in the Farm League, 8 year olds to play in the Minors and 10 year olds to play in the Majors.

SYB has put together a Player Evaluation Committee who will make the final decisions on any player’s ability to play at the higher level.  This will all be determined at the tryouts in March.  We ask that you indicate if you would like SYB to consider your child playing at the higher level if needed.

Coaching at any level is appreciated and will qualify for all volunteer hours.  We ask that all potential coaches reach out ASAP so we can select coaches in early February.

Salem Youth Baseball relies on volunteers to keep this program running. To ensure that everyone contributes to the volunteer hours necessary to run the league the following volunteer program is being implemented starting this year with the 2020 Spring Season. Each family will be responsible for fulfilling 4 hours of volunteer service per registered player or can pay a $100 per player Buyout fee. This fee will cover both Tag Day requirements and Volunteer hours.  The deposit will be refunded at the completion of the season and/or on verification that all volunteer hours have been 100% complete.

IMPORTANT – REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE ON 3/6 FOR ALL LITTLE LEAGUE LEVELS – PLEASE SIGN UP BEFORE THIS DATE TO ENSURE YOUR CHILD’S SPOT ON A ROSTER
