Registration for the 2021 SAYB season is now open!
While we don’t know what the status of youth sports will be as we move through the winter and into the spring, we remain hopeful and want to ensure we have things in place for our season.
One thing we wanted to highlight, in the spirit of transparency, is SAYB’s refund policy (https://sayb.sportngin.com/page/show/495101-refund-policy). Should we need to cancel the season, as we did last year, each player, at a minimum, will be assessed any transactional charges SAYB has incurred either in the original registration or via the electronic refund process. Then, depending on the timing of a potential future shutdown, there may be additional league costs and expenses that will not be refunded depending on how far we are into our season—up to $40.00 per player. This policy, especially during these times, is in place to ensure that our organization remains viable for this and future seasons. We thank you for your understanding and support. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have questions.
We look forward to hopefully seeing all of the SAYB players out on the diamond again this spring and summer!
New Bat Requirements
Little League adopted new baseball bat standards starting with the 2018 season. For the tryouts on February 23, SAYB REQUIRES that all players use a bat that conforms with the new USABat standards. More info on new bat standards. Players will not be able to tryout using last year’s bat. If a player does not have a USABat, SAYB will provide an approved bat to be used for the Hitting evaluation.

Uniforms/Pants for the 2021 SAYB Season

For your convenience, SAYB has been able to secure lower prices from the following local stores, but there is no requirement that parents purchase pants from these stores:
