Every Sunday from January 5th through March 9th we will be having OPEN GYMS to prepare you for your upcoming season!  All open gyms are at the La Crescent High School Main Gym.  During your time you will learn the proper ways to hit, field, and throw a baseball.

Please bring a water bottle, any equipment you may have (bat, glove, batting gloves, helmet), and a POSITIVE attitude!!  We have set aside a 90-minute time slot to get your work in.  If you can make only one Sunday or all the Sundays, it does not matter.  We would love to have you!

The times are as follows:

• 11:30 – Noon (Set up by the Coaches and HS players)
• Noon – 1:30  (Grades 9-12)
• 1:30 – 3pm (Grades 3-8)
• 3pm – 3:30pm (Clean up)

Play Hard, Get Dirty, and Have Fun!!

Volunteers are what keep our fields maintained and our tournaments running smoothly and successfully. Each family is required to contribute at least 4 hours of volunteer time each season in order to have their $150 volunteer fee (paid upon registration) refunded. Volunteer hours are NOT prorated.

Here are a few important things to note:

• While we encourage families to volunteer together as a learning opportunity, minors do NOT count toward your 4-hour requirement. The 4 hours should be accounted for by parents/guardians/adults.
• All minors helping in concessions must be accompanied by an adult.
• Anyone under the age of 14 helping in our concessions area should NOT handle any money!  
• If you sign up for a field maintenance slot (dragging/chalking) during our tournaments, there will not be training available for these tasks so PLEASE only sign up for those timeslots if you know how to do them.  
• When signing up for volunteer time slots – Please pay close attention to the day, time, and the actual field location assigned to each sign-up opportunity. There are signup slots for many fields around town during the tournaments, so it is important you are present where you are signed up for.  
• All refunds will be issued by August 15th, 2024. 
• Volunteer hour discrepancies must be presented to the LYB Board no later than September 1st, 2024.  LYB will not consider any discrepancies after September 1st, 2024. 
• Scorekeeping at league games does not count towards volunteer hours. 
• Your refund will be credited to the card used at registration time.  LYB is not responsible for cancelled credit cards. 

Our mission is to provide a fun and competitive summer ball experience focused on teamwork, sportsmanship and skill building.

Any youth meeting the age requirements that lives within or attends the La Crescent-Hokah School District ISD #300 is eligible to participate.
