We have two seasons each year at BYSA.
The Fall Season is a developmental, instructional season where players have one practice a week (weeknight) and one game a week (Saturday). Registration for this season typically opens in July online, with in-person registration occurring in August. The season runs from September to November. Teams are selected after a basic evaluation (not a tryout) to try to create a level playing field across all teams.
During the Spring Season, teams have 4-6 practices prior to the first game of the season, multiple practices during the season, and typically have 2 games per week (a weeknight game and a Saturday game). Registration for the spring season opens online in November, with in-person sessions occurring in January. The season runs from February to May, and concludes with a park tournament for all age divisions except T-Ball. Players in all age groups are eligible to be considered for All-Stars, with district/state tournaments typically occurring in June/July. All players participate in a tryout and teams are selected via draft by team managers. (Exception: T-Ball does not have tryouts and teams are selected randomly.)
The Bambino Buddy-Ball Division allows our challenged or special needs thletes to develop confidence and positive self-esteem. It allows them to be part of organized sports and assists with physical fitness as well as their social skills.
