Bellingham Youth Baseball Inc. "BYBI" will once again offer our FALL BALL program beginning Saturday September 6 and running through Saturday, October 4 with October 11 serving as a rain date.
THIS PROGRAM IS NOT A PROGRAM FOR ALL-STARS, TRAVEL OR AAU TEAMS! Been there, done that.
What this program offers is an opportunity for kids who want to play baseball as a supplement to some fall sport or for those kids who simply enjoy playing baseball and want to play a few more organized games. Teams generally do not practice and games are a hard and fast 2 hour time limit whether it be 5 innings or 10 innings of baseball. They show up on Saturdays for a little backyard baseball with umpires. Coaches are encouraged to let kids try new positions and have fun. Players are provided hats & t-shirts.
Age Groupings are determined based on a players age as of April 30, 2008. Their spring baseball age! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!!!!

Finally, if you have to ask about scheduling around soccer, please know up front that you will have conflicts. Despite our best efforts, we have NEVER been able to make a schedule that does not conflict on multiple weekends and it is not fair to have too many kids one week and not enough the next.
