Our baseball program is designed for boys in grades K-8.  Girls in Kindergarten are encouraged to join our Rookies league.  There are five age divisions for baseball and each is based on the players grade.  

AYS&B league play strives to create fair play opportunities for players of all skill levels.  Coaches are advised to consider a player’s abilities and may not put a player in certain positions in order to keep the child safe.  Our goal is to create a passion for the sport of baseball through team camaraderie and sportsmanship.  

Depending on weather, the season starts in late April and continues through the end of June.  Practices are generally held two times per week before season games begin and are based on field and coach availability.  Once games begin there are generally one or two games per week.  Practice may occur in addition to games, but generally no more than once per week when games are being played.  Specific dates and times for practice and games depend on field availability and the coach’s discretion.  In general, half of the games will be played in Altoona while the other half will be played within 30 miles of Altoona.  All Rookies program games are played in Altoona.
