Welcome to the CYB/CYS Website!

Cheshire Youth Baseball and Softball is a non-profit organization whose sole mission is to provide organized, instructional, recreational and competitive baseball and softball programs to Cheshire's youth. It is run entirely by volunteers at the Board of Directors, team manager and coaching levels. League players range from age  4 (T-Ball) through age 19 (American Legion).

The CYB/CYS Board of Directors wish our players and parents every success both on and off the field. We pledge our support as you enter into what we hope is a positive experience; for it is ultimately you, the managers, coaches and parents who will make our program successful and beneficial to Cheshire's youth and Cheshire's future.
