If you have a conflict, please let Rob at rob.reddy@dyba.com or Terry at terry.platt@dyba.com know ASAP and we will do our best to reschedule your player.

Couple things to note:

1.  Registration is now open.  Please visit www.dyba.com to register today

2.  We are still working on next years travel fees.  They will be in the same ballpark as last years fees.  As a special note, 12U will have an additional fee for Cooperstown.

3.  There is a $300 tryout fee that will be credited towards your 2020 travel fees.  If you make a team and elect not to play, that $300 is not refundable.

4.  Tryouts are closed to the public.  Please check your player in and then you must leave the area.

5.  We would LOVE to have 2 teams at every level this year.  Please pass this on to any eligible player.  If you have a question as to the eligibility, please let us know.

6.  All teams will be announced over the Labor Day weekend

RULES FOR DYBA TEAM SELECTION

The DYBA team selection process is designed to create even teams in each division and attempt to create the most competitive and fun balance for all players involved. Every effort is taken to eliminate the possibility of unbalanced teams. For those reasons, DYBA does not allow friendship requests for its Baseball or Softball teams.  Requests for placement of a child on a team with another child, a specific coach outside of their own parent/guardian, and/or a carpool group will not be considered.

            Simultaneously, acknowledging that parent volunteers are the backbone of the DYBA organization, parent volunteer coaches may request to coach their own child alongside up to one (1) other coach under the following guidelines:

1. All volunteers who would like to coach must be registered as a Coach/Assistant Coach/Manager in the DYBA registration system and must pass the background check process.
2. For any coach pairing request to be considered, each of the Coaches/Managers must also request each other to ensure the coach requests are mutual. For Example: If Coach Smith requests to be paired with Coach Jones, then Coach Jones must also request to be paired with Coach Smith.
3. No more than two (2) coach volunteers can request to be placed on the same team with each other.

DYBA will then make every effort to place the requesting coaches on the same team.  Please note that while every effort will be made, this is not a guarantee.

All siblings/relatives within the same age group will automatically be placed on the same team unless otherwise directed by their parents/guardians.

To request that coaches be placed on the same team, please follow these guidelines. Coach requests are only accepted in the comments section of the coach registration system once registration for that specific league opens. No phone or email requests will be accepted. All correctly submitted coach pairing requests will be recorded for consideration, but, as always, not guaranteed. The DYBA League Board and each of the Baseball/Softball Directors reserve all final decisions on teams to accommodate extenuating circumstances as may be needed.

There were a lot of players, coaches and families who came to support the league and march in the parade, thank you!
