Join your friends for a great spring and summer on the diamond...

Registration is now OPEN for the 2024 Baseball and Softball season.

Barrington Youth Baseball & Softball offers programs for all players from ages 5 to 18. 

The House League structure is grade based. The younger players (boys Kindergarten through 2nd grade and girls Kindergarten through 4th grade) are placed with classmates on teams built around their school.  Older players participate in divisions where players are drafted on to teams by coaches.

  • Practices begin the first week of April and the season ends in late June.
  • Most teams play between 16 to 20 games and the older divisions have a year-end playoff.
  • Players will be informed of their team roster before spring break.
  • Practices begin the first week of April. Game schedules are distributed by managers the first week of April.
  • Visit the REGISTRATION tab on the top of the page to sign up today.

BYB&S also offers an All Star program for House Players and a Full Time Travel Program.  For more information -please visit the league description tab on the left side of the homepage.

Fundraising Program- Please see the Fundraising page that will our annual efforts to maintain and improve our fields including the current Fields of Dreams project.

The online Fundraising Fee/Raffle is the process for our annual discount card sales.    Coaches will distribute three fundraising cards to each player’s family at the start of the season.  Families can then sell these individual $20 cards to recoup the fundraising fee, use the cards themselves, or give them away.   

Each player has a $60 fundraising fee (and will receive three fundraising cards to recoup the $60) and there is a Family Maximum for this fundraising fee of $120 for families with multiple players in the program.  This will be reflected on the shopping cart page as long as you register all your children at the same time (Select Register Another Player on the Review page).

All registered participants are entered into the 2024 raffles that will award prizes throughout the year.
