Hello Steamboat Baseball Families!
Spring is just around the corner and we are very excited for the upcoming 2024 Steamboat Baseball Season. As you all know, we still have snow on the ground, so many of the upcoming dates are still TBD. Our goal is to get these dates selected as soon as possible once we know when the fields will be dry enough that we are allowed to use them.
Last year we had over 325 players in our league and we are expecting even more this year. Please don't wait to register as there will be a player limit due to field availability.
Registration is now open: https://www.yampabaseball.org/Default.aspx?tabid=1024685
Our focus as a league is to offer a competitive baseball environment where we teach the game of baseball while developing individual skills and a love for the game. We will have a lot more to share with you in the coming weeks.
COACHES AND VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Please register at the link above if you are interested in coaching this year. No experience is needed. We will show you everything you need to know.
Upcoming Events:

- - VERY IMPORTANT - - All players 7 and older must sign up for a 5 minute time-slot (sign-up link will be sent out 2 weeks prior), where they will take part in an evaluation of throwing, catching, and hitting. Registered coaches are present and use the evaluations as a basis to form competitive and balanced teams. Please don't miss this date as it will determine which division your child will play in for the season. There will be a makeup date on Wednesday, May 11th if needed.
Player evaluation will include:
- 5 fly balls and throw to 2nd base
- 5 ground balls and throw to 1st base
- 5 hits off a pitching machine, on the 5th hit, run the bases to 3rd
