REMINDER

Coaches/Players/Parents/Spectators please review the Navarre Youth Sports Association (NYSA) Code of Conduct (CoC) before the season begins. Violations of the NYSA CoC will be strictly enforced. The NYSA CoC is located in the Volunteer Corner section of the NYSA Spring Baseball webpage.

PARENTS AND COACHES

Parents,
Players participating in the recreational and select baseball programs at NYSA are prohibited in participating in travel baseball. If it comes to my attention this is happening, your player will not be permitted to play at NYSA.
Coaches,
The Ravens are the only park sanctioned teams that are allowed to play in tournaments outside the park. If you want to coach travel baseball, you will have to have to leave the park to do so.

May my son who is playing Rec ball at NYSA also play Travel ball on another team? We provide Select Teams (Ravens) at each age division to provide a higher competitive experience for our players which is fully integrated in our Rec program. The focus is on player development and safety as pitch count rules are used for both Rec and Select play to protect our player's young arms. Therefore, we do not allow our registered players to play on outside travel ball teams as this may put the player's health at risk. Please contact the Baseball Commissioner for guidance if you have any questions regarding this rule.
