2018 Chelmsford Youth Baseball Registration Information

SPRING REGISTRATION STILL OPEN

ONLINE FOR LEARN TO PLAY 

Hi everyone,

Chelmsford Youth Baseball, in conjunction with KBK Sports, will be holding a silent auction for a number of pieces of Boston sports memorabilia during the CYB Picture Day next Saturday, April 28th. This is not only a great opportunity to have a chance to own a piece of Boston sports history, but a chance to raise money for Chelmsford Youth Baseball.

KBK Sports is a sports marketing firm based in Tewksbury, MA that specializes in event management and fundraising support for charities, corporate outings, and community events. Their website is http://www.kbksports.com/. 

This is a perfect time to bid on some great items while waiting for your son/daughter/children to get their pictures done at the fieldhouse. If you have any questions, please contact our CYB fundraising chairperson, Fred Ramseyer, at fred@chelmsfordanimalhospital.com, or Jon Goode of KBK Sports at jgoode@kbk-sports.com.

Hope to see you there!

AFTER RECEIVING MANY REQUESTS CYB WILL HOLD A SECOND USED EQUIPMENT EXCHANGE/DROP OFF

IF YOU NEED SOMETHING COME DOWN TO THE CYB FIELDHOUSE AT 75 CHELMSFORD STREET WEDNESDAY 4/25/2018 FROM 6-730 PM.

WE HAVE CLEATS, UNIFORM PANTS, SOCKS, GLOVES & A LIMITED AMOUNT OF CATCHERS GEAR. HOPEFULLY WE CAN HELP YOU OUT.

Hi everyone,

As you might have seen, the winter weather had damaged our three batting cages. CYB was able to salvage one, but two are beyond repair. A week ago, the board approved the purchase of two new batting cages. If you'd like to see what they look like, the link is;

They should be here in a couple of weeks at which time we will need volunteers to help with the assembly and installation. Until then we'll have to make do with the one cage that is available. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. This shouldn't put a damper on our opening weekend though! See you on Saturday!
