ALFREDNY.INFO - Alfred-Almond Youth Baseball

This site also includes information for the T-Ball teams. Specific age guidelines are given out at the time of registration. By including such things as game and concession schedules, contact information, and a calendar of events, we hope the site will improve game attendance.

Big changes this year! We have expanded into three separate divisions. There is a Majors division for eleven and twelve year olds; a Minors division for eight, nine, and ten year olds; and a T-Ball division for five, six, and seven year olds. As of this moment it looks like there will be three teams at the Major level; four teams at the Minor level; and three teams at the T-Ball level.

If you have a child in Little League you will be scheduled to help out in the concession stand at least one evening during the Summer. Please check out the Concession Workers Schedule and look for your name. The league works best when everybody helps.

Please make sure to check out the "Commissioner's Corner" for comments and for other helpful tips and instructions.

General Tips

Part of our goal in this league is to help the youngsters develop their skills. Some just want to develop them well enough to participate (which is fine), while others take a more serious approach to the game.

If you are seeking to become a proficient ballplayer playing in our scheduled games and practices is really not enough to truly hone your skills, you should be seeking to do things on your own as well. This does not have to include complicated drills.

The simple habit of trying to play 5-15 minutes of catch on a regular basis will go a long ways toward a 6-12 year old becoming very comfortable with the ball (which is a large part of the game at this level). The best players are not as good as they are by accident. A good axiom in baseball, as well as life, is "you get out of it what you put into it."
