Do you love LL baseball and want to have a "voice" in what is being done at BYS?  Now is your chance to do just that!  We have a few BYS Board Member positions opening up as some of our current board member's are vacating their positions for various reasons.  Mainly because their children have aged out of Little League.  The positions require a year long commitment to BYS. Our board meetings take place monthly, usually the first Sunday evening of each month.  They are all volunteer positions and will require time outside your jobs and homelife.  However, it's a rewarding opportunity to help make our children's baseball experience a positive one.  The following board positions will become open at the end of this season:

• President
• VP of Baseball Operations
• Registrar
• Player Agent Softball
• Scheduler Softball
• Field VP Major Field

Anyone interested about getting more information about these open positions can email us at or simply contact one of the board members directly from our contacts page.
