* Subject to weather
Once the schedules have been published, there will not be any changes made by CYBSA unless weather related or at the direction of the field permit issuing municipality. Due to field use limitations all rescheduling of games can only be done by the league. If a team cannot field a team to play a scheduled game, it will be counted as a forfeit. The schedule for practices and games is very tight, with little room to reschedule games.

When are practices?

Practices are typically weeknights, but can be on weekends, especially prior to games beginning for said season.

Is a uniform provided?

CYBSA provides a jersey, crested with a  MLB/MiLB  team, and Centennial hat for Baseball . Players may need to furnish pants, socks, and belt.  Many teams purchase these as a team so wait to hear from your coach before purchasing these items.

Generally, ages 4-10 wear Minor League teams and ages 11-18 wear Major League teams.

Fall baseball teams generally choose their own team name, which can be the same one they used in the spring/summer season, or whatever they would like to come up with. The fall baseball jerseys are not crested with specific teams or logos.

Girl's Softball teams may choose their own team name and uniform colors. CYBSA provides hat and jersey for Softball. Players need to furnish pants, socks, etc.

When will I hear from my coach?

Individual and team photos will be scheduled once rosters have been completed.  Team picture time is scheduled by either Team Parent or by Manager/Head Coach.

Who are the umpires?

CYBSA began using in-house umpires starting with the 2021 season.

Who maintains the fields?

Every year the league receives complaints in regards to the conditions of some of the ball fields.  Most of our field providers do not allow the league to do any maintenance to their fields, outside of lining them for game play. The league collaborates with more than 6 different municipalities for the fields that CYBSA uses and any/all field issues reported to CYBSA league management are reported along with a repair request/work order to the permit issuing agency accordingly. Sadly, far more often than not, these maintenance requests are not completed to the level we would like, or not completed at all.
