The YMCA offers baseball, softball and tee-ball. Depending on age and location, teams may be coach pitch, machine pitch or off the tee, and practices and game schedules may vary.
This spring, YMCA sports will offer small-sided league play. Games will take place with fewer athletes on the field than a typical season. In addition, for families who are not ready to participate in games, we will offer regional academy-style clinics.
Please be sure to check our Youth Sports Health and Safety page for the latest information and guidelines.
Teams
Teams are formed based on ages U5 - U13. See below for details and locations. Please refer to our age chart to determine your child's age group league.
