Altoona Youth Baseball

Welcome to AYSB’s Baseball program!  The baseball program is designed for boys from 6-14 years of age (Gr K-8).  There are five age divisions.  AYSB League Play strives to create fair play opportunities for children of all skill levels.  Coaches are advised to consider a child’s abilities and may not play a child in a position that the child is not able to play in order to keep the child safe.  Our goal is to create a passion for the sport of baseball based on team camaraderie and sportsmanship. 

The season starts in Late April and continues through the end of June.  Practices are generally 2 times per week before games begin based on field and coach availability.  Once games begin, games are generally one or two times per week.  Practice may occur in addition to games, but generally no more than once per week when games are being played.  Specific dates and times for practice and games depend on field availability and the coach’s discretion.
