     WHAT IS BUDDY BALL?    

Since our last communication regarding Buddy Ball registration, we've received an outpour of emails asking...WHAT IS BUDDY BALL?

We thank you for inquiring and are so excited to share a little information about our program – so maybe you too would like to get involved!

SO, HERE WE GO...

• ·         Originated in Spring of 2009, we will be entering our 4^th season
• ·         Created to give all siblings of DBYS players, regardless of any developmental, physical, or social issue, a chance to play baseball - like their siblings
• ·         Open to all youth ages 4 to 21, most are from Daniel Boone School District
• ·         Buddies, ages 9 -20,  are matched with players to help assist their peers in the least restrictive way possible
• ·         Friendships are created that last way beyond the baseball field
• ·         Last season we had 24 players and 52 buddies
• ·         100% sponsor-funded program for all players and Buddies during our first 3 years, we hope to be able to continue this each season
• ·         Coaches, Announcers, and Snack bar staff are all adults from the community who offer  their time to volunteer so that parents can watch and cheer on their child

HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?

• ·         Do you know a player who can benefit from our program – sign them up!!
• ·         Do you have a child who would like to be a buddy (age 9-21) – sign them up!!!
• ·         Do you have an interest in volunteering with coaching, field prep, or snack bar assistance – contact
• ·         Do you know someone or a company who would be willing to help sponsor this 100% free program?
• ·         Do you have an HOUR on Sundays, from 1pm – 2pm, to stop by Township Fields and watch a game and cheer on our athletes?
• Any questions or comments about Buddy Ball – please feel free to contact

Working Together We Can Make A Difference!!!!

HEAD COACHES STILL NEEDED! 

Thank you to everyone who attended last night's monthly meeting!  The standing-room-only crowd and the passionate and healthy discussions are just continued examples of how much our DBYS families care about our this youth sports organization!  That's great stuff!

Thank you also to the many volunteers who offered to coach in our league this season!  What would we do without you!  We are still in need of a few Head Coaches in the following divisions: 

BASEBALL: 

MAJORS:

• Two (2) head coaches needed

ROOKIE:

• Two (2) head coaches needed

T-BALL:

• Three (3) head coaches needed

If you are able to fill one of the key positions above, please contact DBYS Vice-President, Ben Marchese at - as soon as possible.  Being a head coach does require time, organization and patience (among so many other things) - but the reward of having an impact on kids as they grow into ball players (because of your knowledge and instruction)? - PRICELESS!  Please consider taking on a lead role!  

Thanks again to all for registering your players and supporting our exciting season ahead!
