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  6 (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.

Babe Ruth: Ages 14 - 15 - http://assn.la/Reg/?r=1:279410

Babe Ruth: 13U Prep: Age 13 - http://assn.la/Reg/?r=1:279409

13U Prep Info:

This year we will again be offering a 13U Babe Ruth Prep Team that will help cover the age gap between Little League and Babe Ruth. This is because Little League and Babe Ruth Age charts do not overlap and there is a 4 month gap for which any player that is born between May 1, 2007 and August 31, 2007 is not eligible to play in either league, for that reason we are creating a new division exclusively for 13 year old players.

We are asking that all player who turn age 13 Register for 13U Prep. If you have already registered, we will transfer your registration. If you feel that you want to play on the 14-15 year old Babe Ruth, please notify us via email and we will review and make a decision before drafts are done.

This division will run simultaneously with Babe Ruth and play multiple towns. Currently their are 6 surrounding towns between District 7 and 2 that will be also creating the same 13U Prep Team.
