      Welcome to the home of Bolton Youth Baseball and Softball Programs. While we ring in the new year, the Board of Directors is hard at work planning the seasons activities for the 2008 season. Our program is designed to give all children ages 5-15 the opportunity to have fun learning and playing the great American pastime of baseball and softball.

On the BYB site you will find all the information you need to be an active participant in our program, including schedules, game rules, information on special events, teams and BoD contact information. We are a league run entirely by volunteers and largely supported by our generous local sponsors, so please consider registering as a volunteer to help make BYB a great program for years to come.

Finally, we encourage all kids to get out there and play one of the many Bolton youth sports programs. If you have any additional questions, please visit our FAQ PAGE or contact a league administrator listed on the CONTACTS PAGE

Enjoy your season!

BYB BoD

  BYB League Photography - Digital Imaging

by posted 04/06/2008

As many of you may already know, throughout the season you may see a gentlemen around the field area dragging around a wagon of gear and/or sitting on a milk crate taking pictures of our players in game action. His name is Brian P. Smith from Digital Imaging www.brianpsmith.com and he has been approved by BYB to take game pictures. Brian takes outstanding action photo's of the players and makes them available online for purchase. Once the season starts Brian will provide me a league password for all to review the photo's and I will make that password available to everyone.
Note that this is not to be confused with the team photographer who takes pictures of our teams scheduled for May 30th.

  Batting Helmet Options (and other baseball gear)

by posted 03/16/2008

Batting Helmets: Over the past year or so, we have been exploring the use of shared helmets, both within our league and across baseball/softball in general. If you think about it, baseball is the only sport that shares equipment and specifically, shares headgear. Without getting into all the obvious unsanitary details, I would like to strongly recommend that you consider purchasing a batting helmet for your own child. For the next few years, BYB will continue to provide team helmets, but at some point we will only provide a few community helmets to each team in hopes that each child has their own helmet. For those who aren’t aware, BYB requires that all teams use a NOCSAE certified batting helmet with a facemask. The only exception is our Big League and T-ball programs which we DO NOT require the facemask as part of the helmet.
Ø     If you do chose to purchase your own helmet, how much you want to pay and how fancy you want to get is entirely up to you, as long as its NOCSAE certified. However, I have set up a deal with an online company, that we (BYB) use to order all our gear, League Direct. They agreed to sell BYB parents the std league helmet at a discounted price.

Ø    NOTE THAT IF YOUR CHILD HAS A LARGER THAN AVERAGE HEAD THE STD ONE SIZE FITS ALL HELMET MAY NOT FIT. IF YOU DO REQUIRE A LARGER HELMET SIZE, PLEASE ORDER THE FOLLOWING FROM LD. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN ADDED TO THE LIST OF HELMETS WHEN YOU LOG IN VIA THE ABOVE PROCESS.

  Little League Statement/Rule on Non-Wood Bats

by posted 04/03/2007

BYB Parents/Managers/Players;
Just a reminder of the new Little League rule that will be coming into effect for 2009 season. For the 2009 season Little League International and subsequently BLL, have mandated that all bats meet the new league standard. This rule will apply to all levels of LL baseball, even for T-Ball. Note that not all bats will have the appropriate labeling/markings so buyer beware!
 
The official Little League statement url and rule is below for your ref.
 
Rule 1.10 (baseball only)
NOTE 3: Beginning with the 2009 season, non-wood bats used in divisions of play Little League (Majors) and below must be printed with a BPF (bat performance factor) rating of 1.15 or less.
  • What does this mean? Bat manufacturers agreed several years ago that the BPF (bat performance factor) of bats they are now manufacturing will not exceed a 1.15. The BPF is a formula that measures how fast a baseball comes off the bat. Starting on Jan. 1, 2009, however, all bats used in the Little League (Majors) Division and below must be designated (printed) with a BPF of 1.15 or less.
NOTE 4: Non-wood bats may develop dents from time to time. Bats that cannot pass through the approved Little League bat ring must be removed from play. The 2 ¼ inch bat ring must be used for bats in all softball divisions, and in the Tee Ball, Minor League and Little League Baseball divisions of baseball. The 2 ¾ inch bat ring must be used for bats in the Junior League, Senior League and Big League divisions of baseball.
  • What does this mean? For a non-wood bat to become dented over time is normal. But some umpires have been disallowing bats that are slightly dented. As a result, Little League will providing a number of Little League Approved bat rings at no charge to every league for use in all divisions of play. Umpires who are active in the Little League Umpire Registry (details on joining the registry are here http://www.littleleague.org/umpires/index.asp) also will receive one bat ring at no charge. Additional bat rings may be purchased from Little League International or the Regional Center. The ring has holes for both sizes and is made of sturdy plastic. If the bat passes through the proper ring, it is “legal.” (Obviously, however, if a bat has visible cracks in it, it should not be permitted in a game.) You can see an example of the ring here: www.littleleague.org/media/images/LL_Bat_Rings.jpg
