Dear Parents,
We hope this email finds you well. We are writing to provide you with an important update regarding the ongoing cleanup work at the SBBA due to recent weather damage. It is crucial that we all work together to ensure the safety of our children during this time.
As you may be aware, the ballpark has experienced severe weather damage, and construction work is currently underway to address the issues. While we are making every effort to complete the repairs as quickly as possible, we urge you to exercise increased caution and keep a close eye on your children whenever they are at the ballpark.
The safety of our community and the well-being of our children are our top priorities. We kindly request your cooperation in adhering to the following safety guidelines:
1. Restricted Areas: Please ensure that your children do not enter any restricted areas within the ballpark that are fenced off.
2. Supervision: It is essential to provide close supervision to your children at all times when they are at the ballpark. This includes during games, practices, and any other activities.
3. Communication: If you notice any potential safety hazards or have any concerns, please promptly report them via info@sbba.net so all board members are aware and the issue can be addressed. Your vigilance can help us address any issues promptly.
4. Patience and Understanding: We understand that the ongoing construction work may cause inconvenience, but we kindly request your patience and understanding during this time. Our primary goal is to ensure the safety of everyone involved and prevent any potential accidents or injuries, while having a successful 2024 Spring season.
By working together and following these safety measures, we can create a secure environment for our children to enjoy their time at the ballpark. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping us all safe.
If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact the board at info@sbba.net.

No. We follow the guidelines for USSSA on what division your child should play in. Please see our age bracket key under the Documents tab or go to www.USSSA.com and use their age calculator to determine the Division for your child.

Players in age groups 6 and up tryout except for head coaches kids ONLY. Everyone makes a team, this is more of an evaluation for coaches to draft teams so they are more evenly matched.

No, only T4 is co-ed. T5 and T6 are just boys. 6U is 5 and 6 year old girls.

When I enter my child's birthday, it says "No Division Available", but they are old enough to play
Be sure to click on the appropriate link for your child's birthday. If they are supposed to be in T-ball, you have to click on that link. Likewise, you have to click on the baseball/softball link if they are supposed to be in baseball/softball.

When does the Spring season end?
The spring season usually ends the end of May prior to Memorial Day. However, that can change due to the number of rainout games we have in a season.
