Pursuant to county mandates, all players must be registered by a parent or guardian on a first come basis.

The registration form must be fully completed for each child (ESPECIALLY UNIFORM SIZE). No part of the form may be altered or deleted.

Gwinnett County requires an additional $90.00 registration fee per player for all players who do not currently reside in Gwinnett County. 

Any player who registers after the published registration dates will be wait-listed and acceptance will be based on availability.

Uniform for the recreation season is included in the registration fee which includes a cap,  baseball pants or shorts, jersey, socks and belt (if applicable).  The uniform belongs to the player.  In addition, players in the T-ball and Peewee leagues will receive an individual trophy for his/her participation and may receive additional medals or plaques for tournament play subject to availability of funds.  The registration fee also supports the cost of league equipment, protective equipment, certified umpires and the high levels of park and field maintenance required by the County of Gwinnett.

Batting helmets ARE NOT supplied by the league.  Each player is responsible for having his/her own helmet. 

Uniform Sizes.  Available sizes are Pants: Youth (XS – XL) and Adult (S – XXL), Jerseys: Youth (S – XL) and Adult (S – XXL).  We will have uniforms available to help you determine uniform size along with a size chart on the website.

Managers, Coaches and Team Moms:  Please consider helping out as a MANAGER or COACH, especially in T-Ball and Pee Wee, even if you can only coach part time during practices or games.  The commissioners of these leagues work very hard to ensure that each team has no less than one experienced and qualified manager capable of teaching baseball/softball fundamentals and teamwork skills.  For these younger age groups, it is necessary to have enough parents helping the manager work with the team in smaller, more individualized groups.  PLEASE ASK IF YOU CAN HELP.  If only a few times, it will still help the kids learn.  In addition, all teams are in need of a TEAM MOM or a TEAM DAD to coordinate the team’s administrative responsibilities as part of the larger NYBSA organization such as uniform distribution, allocation of volunteer duties, trophies, team pictures, website information, snack schedules and team parties.

Manager/Coach Application:  All managers and coaches MUST REGISTER ONLINE. Click here to register.. 

Donations:  If you would like to participate in contributing to NYBSA an amount outside our Team Sponsorship program, an Additional Contribution can be added to your Registration Fee.  We are also extremely grateful for any amount of an Additional Contribution you are able to graciously provide on the registration form.
