When do we practice?        Each team is assigned a diamond for 2-3 practices per week.  G.Y.A.A. assigns diamonds specifically due to the number of teams vs number of diamonds. Major, Minor, U12, and U10 will start the first full week of April.  Coach Pitch and U8 start the 3rd week of April.  T-Ball starts the last week of April. 

What days do we play games?    6 days a week!  All teams should be prepared to play any night of the week and on Saturdays.  If weather remains perfect the schedule would be as follows.

Will I get an award?      All T-ball, Coach Pitch, and U8 players will receive a participation award at the end of the season.  Minors, Majors, U10, and U12 only receive an individual award if their team finishes 1st or 2nd.   Tournament plaques are also awarded for 1st and 2nd place finishes.   

Do baseball and soccer overlap?      YES.  But in practice time only.  Games for Major, Minor, U10, U12 don't start until 3rd week of May.  Games for T-Ball, CP, U8 start after Memorial Day. As you can gauge the overlap by the start times for your respective division. 

Who prepares the diamond for practices and games?        You, me, us!  As a volunteer organization, all the help we can get is truely needed and appreciated.  There is a ton of work needed to kick off the season and to maintain throughout the season.  For game night, the Home team is responsible for field prep.  Game are to start promptly at 6:15pm.  The home teams is responsible for putting away equipment after game is over too. All are responsible for trash.  Give a hoot, don't pollute
