Norcross Youth Baseball and Softball Association Goals

The Norcross youth baseball and softball programs have been providing quality programs for children ages 5 to 18 for over 30 years. We are a volunteer organization serving over 880 families in the greater Norcross area. Our goal oriented programs are designed to meet the following needs:

  • Foster a sense of fellowship between families from our community
  • Provide a pleasant environment for our children to learn the life lessons associated with sports and sportsmanship
  • Provide competitive athletic programs to develop the skills associated with baseball and softball


These goals are accomplished thanks to the help and support of dozens of unpaid volunteers.

General Information and Guidlines

  • Kids will not sit out more than 1 inning per game
  • We strive for team sizes of 10-11 players
  • Wins and loses are not tabulated for any purpose
  • Tournaments include all teams regardless of wins and loses
  • Tournament seeding is done through a random drawing
  • Managers are encouraged to rotate the positions that children play
  • A draft process is used each season in an attempt to create even teams
  • We play 11-14 games per season
  • Registration for our programs can be accomplished either in person or online

When we meet:

Pre-Season

  • Practice twice a week for up to 60-120 minutes
  • Practice times are usually sometime between 6pm and 9pm depending upon age level and number of teams.
  • Practice start times on the weekend range from 8am to 6pm


Season

  • Games are played twice a week for 60-110 minutes depending upon age level.
  • Game start times during the week depend on age level.
  • Game start times on the weekend range from 8am to 6pm.

We ask that parents make the best effort possible to meet the minimum time commitment outlined above.  By playing with fewer kids on a team we ensure your child has more playing time, BUT missing even one child puts their team at a disadvantage. 

When we play:

Spring Program

  • Registration period usually begins in December
  • Evaluations are held in late January, early February
  • Practices begin in the middle of February
  • The season begins in the middle of March
  • No games or practices are held during Spring Break (Gwinnett County)
