 FYBL Fall Ball
This fall, FYBL will once again be offering a fall baseball experience for those who are interested, there are two options for registration,Travel and In-Town . Fee for the 2008 Fall Ball season is $60.00
In-Town Fall Ball
AAA In-Town Fall Ball is an instructional league for boys and girls between 7-10 years of age who do not have the experience to play the National or American level. For the child who plans on graduating to the next level of play in 2008 (i.e. AA to AAA) Fall Ball is a great time to test their skill set. Games typically are played on a weekday and a Saturday at the Little League Fields. Following the draft in August, managers will contact selected players. Teams will have 10 -15 kids and there will be a continuous batting order. All players will play a minimum of two innings in the field.

FYBL Gives Back...
A young woman by the name of Delfia gave me a call late last year and asked if FYBL had any old equipment that we weren’t using and if we would like to donate. After a long season of baseball many things are left at the fields that are never claimed, so I rounded up all the forgotten equipment and donated it all to Delfia who in turn gave it generously to the many needy children of Bonao in the Dominican Republic.
Please take a moment to read Defia's email below…
FYBL:
All of the donated equipment is held at the house of the middle schoolers (who lives in Burlington) grandmother's house, that is across from the baseball field (actuality it is a patch of grass, there is no diamond) in Bonao, Dominican Republic. Because there are so many kids and not enough equipment, the equipment will be kept there so that all the kids can use it for practice and for games and returned to the grandmother's house after it’s used.
When I presented the equipment to the kids they were so elated and grateful, as were the coaches. They were so happy and I was humbled by it all. Our kids live in such abundance that I was almost embarrassed by it but felt rewarded by the genuine happiness these kids showed. The coaches are encouraging and loving with the kids but also firm, they spoke to them about staying focused on school, life and baseball last. This was the FIRST time they had ever received any help from the outside and they were very grateful for it and again not in an overly-done way but very humble. I was very, very deeply touched...
I asked the kids WHEN they become famous to come and visit our kids to speak and encourage them....they all agreed!
I am not an emotional person at all, but I had to choke back tears and when I got to the car, I let them out!
Thanks,
Delfia S
 
FYBL takes off our Hats to Delfia!
We admire her generosity and drive to make life a little bit better for kids that are less fortunate than us.
