Who We Are

Tipp City Junior Baseball & Softball (TCJB) provides a recreational (rec) league for youth ages six to seventeen.  The rec leagues are designed to offer the youth participating a chance to play organized baseball or softball in a fun, educational and competitive setting.  TCJB also sponsors All-Star Baseball & Softball teams for post rec season play.  In July, TCJB sponsors both a Baseball and Softball tournament for All-Star and Select teams.  Additionally, TCJB supports select teams with shared access to Kyle Park along with a softball tournament in May.  TCJB is a IRS code section 501(c)3 organization.

TCJB will be moving to new software in 2026 (Crossbar).  Registration & the new website will open on January 14, 2026.  Here is the LINK to TCJB Crossbar website.

Weather Updates for 2026

January 1, 2026

 

Here are the basics for game cancellation and/or postponements.

Games are cancelled by commissioner of the leagues.

Games are cancelled field by field during the season.  

We do NOT update the field status for conditions during the pre-season for practice.  If the field is not playable, do NOT use it and stay in the grass.

Green means the fields is playable and the game is scheduled to be played.

Yellow means the fields could be playable.  Field work needs to be done.  Coaches and parent volunteers can help.  At yellow, the difference between the game being played or not can be you.  (We don't have enough ground crew for 12 fields at once.)  Come on out!

Red means the field is unplayable.  A field can NOT go from Red to Yellow/Green for the given day.
