We would like to take a moment to thank all the players, parents, coaches, umpires, field maintenance crew, sponsors, and other volunteers who continue to help improve BYB each year.  

Sometime in the next month, you will receive a survey asking you to evaluate the 2022 BYB program.  Please take the time to complete this as it is critical information in our efforts to continually improve the program.  

Thank you everyone for a wonderful 2022 youth baseball season!  As always, if you have any input for our board of directors please send it to: bulldogyouthbaseball@gmail.com

Thanks,

Bulldog Youth Baseball Board of Directors

Deadline was March 13th.

Bulldog Youth Baseball was established in 2010 to create a positive environment in which kids will be taught the fundamentals of baseball while learning how to become exceptional people. 

Mission Statement:  Bulldog Youth Baseball Association’s mission is to provide the youth of Plainview, Elgin, and Millville communities the opportunity to play baseball.  Through exemplary leadership; promote the qualities of integrity, discipline, and sportsmanship while teaching, developing, and improving the basic fundamentals of baseball in a fun, learning environment.

PEM kids will play in the Winona County Little League (8U, 10U, 12U & 14U).  This league has other area towns in it that we will travel to (and they will travel here).  Some of them may include: Dover-Eyota, St. Charles, Chatfield, Lewiston, Altura, Rollingstone, Minnesota City, Goodview, and Ridgeway.  This league sets the schedule and the nights that games are played.  Typically, practices/games are held on the following nights, but there may be slight changes depending on field availability.  Game times are typically around 6:30 pm.  We expect the first games to be the week of May 31st and the last games the end of July.  

8U - Tuesdays & Thursdays

10U - Mondays & Thursdays

12U - Wednesdays & Fridays

13U/14U - Tuesdays & Fridays

Bulldog Youth Baseball is offering a new program, Junior Legion, that replaces Senior Babe Ruth.  Games will be played in the evenings.  Junior Legion is made up of primarily 9th and 10th graders, occasionally some 8th graders.  Games could be 2 nights per week.  Schedule and details will be released in May.  

JUNIOR LEGION:

• Current 9th -10th graders (and potentially some 8th graders) are eligible to participate (NOTE:  This really isn’t an AGE thing…)
• Games are at Eckstein (when we are at home), otherwise we play on the varsity field of the opposing team.
• Game times are ??, with double headers played each time
• We are potentially going to hold a practice once a week (say Wednesday’s) at a time to be determined(preferably in the morning).

NOTES TO PARENTS:

• In the interest of financing, parents are being asked if they could provide their own gray pants for this league (it could be the same ones that your son used for other leagues of BYB)
• Cost for this league is different from other BYB leagues, as of now, BYB will be charging $125.
