SSLYBA's rec programs run between late April and mid July.

Practices will typically begin the last week of April depending on weather. Games begin in mid to late May and will conclude by mid July.

Please keep this in mind when planning vacations. It is not fair to the rest of the team if they have to forfeit their last game of the season during a July playoff due to lack of players in attendance.

Totball and Teeball teams will not begin until mid to late May.

When are practices and how often are they?

Typically teams in the Peewee and older divisions will see two days of practice a week. When games are in full swing that number may reduce based on the teams game schedule and field availability.

Practice days are variable and often based on our volunteer coaches availability. Most practices will be 90 minutes either beginning at 5:15 or 6:45pm

Teeball players will have 1 weekday practice a week and 1 game on Saturday morning.

Totball players do not have weekday practices, just Saturday morning combined practice/game.

How many games and where are they held?

Depending on the age level, there are typically 2 games per week once that part of the season begins. Games almost always fall Monday through Saturday and in very rare situations may be rescheduled for a Sunday to get makeups in.

Peewee is an 8-10 game season. Minors/Majors/Thurman is typically a 10-12 game regular season.

The only necessity for a player to have would be a glove. Teams are provided catchers equipment, extra bats and helmets. Please keep in mind though that league helmets would be shared items and we understand that not everyone is comfortable with that. If you would not like your player to share a helmet, please provide your own.

The league will supply all players with a team shirt and league hat.

Players will need to provide their own baseball/softball pants. Pant colors will be decided based upon the team they are on but typically baseball players wear grey and softball players wear black pants. This does not apply to totball/teeball as at that age baseball/softball pants are not as necessary.
