BYB&S House Baseball

House Baseball & Softball (spring)

Registration begins online (www.bybs.net) in January. At most levels, players are asked to attend an Evaluation Day in February at Barrington High School. These evaluations assist commissioners in creating balanced teams for the spring season. Teams are formed in mid to late March and practices begin in early April. The house season ends in late June. All House divisions stress instruction and fun while ensuring equal participation. Some divisions end their season with competitive tournament to crown a champion and some also have a year end All Star game. A brief description of each division is listed below.

House Baseball

T Ball (Kindergarten and Pre-K)

A perfect way to introduce your child to the fundamentals of the game. Players learn the foundation skills of the sport that prepare them for baseball. Players are coached by volunteer parents and hit from a Tee throughout the season. The emphasis is on fun, instruction, and equal participation. Late in the season, managers are given the option to introduce coach pitch to players who are ready to hit in this fashion. Teams participate in a 16 game instructional season in addition to practices scheduled by managers. Rosters and team assignments are structured loosely around the schools. Most games are played at Langendorf Park, Fields of Dreams, and Lines School. There are no standings or playoffs at this level just great instruction and plenty of fun.

**Play Up Option - This is a very rare request but some players are qualified to play at a higher level than their own age group. Players who wish to play up to a higher level can do so by making that request during the registration process and then need to attend Evaluation Day to determine if they are qualified to participate in a division with older players. Parents and players should be aware that by playing up - a player is likely to be the only player his or her age on their team as the vast majority of the players prefer to play with and against their own classmates.
