DID YOU KNOW...that NYSA is an all-volunteer organization? Yes, with exception to the umpires, all commissioners, committee members, coaches, and team moms are 100% volunteers. This means that throughout the season, your assistance will be requested to aid with running the concession stands, picking up trash, keeping the scorebook, operating the scoreboard, partaking in our once-a-season field day preparations, and participating in fundraisers. NYSA was built on the backs of volunteers. We cannot continue to grow and prosper without YOUR help! Many of us look at NYSA as the ballpark our children will grow up in and create countless, unforgettable memories that one day they will tell their kids about. We greatly appreciate any and all help that you can provide throughout the season. A wise man once said, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

REMINDER: Coaches/Players/Parents/Spectators please review the Baseball Code of Conduct (BCoC), written below, and the NYSA Code of Conduct before the season begins. During the registration process, all coaches and parents are required to read, acknowledge, and sign that they understand the BCoC prior to signing up your child. Violations of the BCoC and NYSA CoC will be strictly enforced. The NYSA CoC is located in the Volunteer Corner section of the NYSA Spring Baseball webpage.

Baseball Code of Conduct

This Coach/Player/Parent Code of Conduct is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of rules concerning coaches/players/parent behavior. All coaches, players and parents registered to play on an NYSA Baseball team are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that is above and beyond respectful of others and reflects positively on Navarre Youth Sports Association.

Sportsmanship: All coaches, players and parents must learn and display a sense of fair play. Be humble in victory, gracious in defeat. Players and parents must represent your team and Navarre Youth Sports Association by always showing good sportsmanship, win or lose.

Player Conduct: Each player will agree to the following:

1. Respect your Coach, Coaches, Teammates, Parents, Opponents, Spectators, and Umpires.

2. Never argue with an umpire’s call or decision.

3. No swearing, harassment, or inappropriate behavior or language will be tolerated.

4. Be responsible to help clean up the field, dugout after all practices and games.

5. No use of Tobacco, Alcohol, Drugs will be Tolerated

1. Respect all coaches, players, teammates, parents, opponents, spectators, and umpires.

2. Only the head coach may query an umpire's call after seeking permission from the umpire in question; however, a coach will NEVER argue with an umpire
about a call. After a play comes to an end, and time is called by the umpire, only then can a coach request from the umpire to have a conversation about a
specific ruling.

3. Be respectful of your coach’s decisions. Remember they are the ones who are putting in the extra time and effort.

4. Encourage your child to play by the rules. Remember that children learn best by example and be supportive of both teams when good plays are made.

For NYSA Park Play - All bats (alloy or composite) having the USSSA/BPF 1.15 Thumbprint stamp and/or the BBCOR stamp and/or USA Baseball Stamp are acceptable. ALLOY bats may NOT contain the words "Coach Pitch" or "CP." Big Barrel bats are acceptable up to widths of 2 3/4". For divisions 10U and 12U, there are no restrictions. Division 14U is allowed no higher than a Drop -5; however, it's recommended to utilize -3 due to mandatory -3 bat usage at the High School level of play.

All Tee Ball bats must feature the USA Baseball mark and accompanying text.

When are practices? Practices vary by team and age group.

Where are practices? Practices are held on the baseball fields or batting cages at the NYSA main complex or at the Holley Baseball Field (Practice location is dependent upon age group and field availability in the main complex).

When does the season start and end? Practices begin the week of February 24th and will conclude the week of May 19th

When are games? Game days vary per division but you can expect games during the middle of the week and on Saturdays. There are no baseball events on Sundays.

Where are games played? We generally play against our own NYSA teams at the NYSA Ball Park.

When is the schedule available/posted? At the beginning of the Spring Baseball season, a practice schedule and game schedule will be posted on the NYSA Website/Spring Baseball page. Once games begin, a reduced practice schedule will be posted. The schedule can change throughout the season as a result of events that are out of our control (numerous rainouts, hurricanes, etc). As a general rule of thumb, the park typically schedules each team a minimum of ten games for the Spring Baseball season. Lastly, practice/game updates, time changes or cancellations will be posted on the Navarre Youth Baseball -- NYSA Facebook page, as well as, communicated through text messages to your team's head coach.

Where can I find maps of and to the ball fields? Maps can be found under Park Maps on the NYSA website.

May my son who is playing Rec ball at NYSA also play Travel ball on another team? Short answer, Yes! If a child is playing travel ball, it must be understood by the parent that NYSA recreational baseball must come FIRST when faced with scheduling predicaments regarding travel ball. Our point of view is the majority of players at NYSA do not participate in travel ball and recreational ball simultaneously; it is unfair to your child's teammates and coaches if they cannot depend on your child to attend a practice or game.
