New to 2019!

It has been an extremely busy off season for BFYB, but we are happy to announce that we are adding two to divisions of play to our organization. New to the 2019 season are two Junior programs!

Junior League

The Junior League Baseball Division is a program for boys ages 12-14, using a conventional 90-foot diamond with a pitching distance of 60 feet, 6 inches.

Like Little League (ages 10-12), Junior League teams may enter the International Tournament.

The culmination of the International Tournament is the Junior League Baseball World Series, featuring teams from around the world. All expenses for the teams advancing to the World Series (travel, meals and housing) are paid by Little League International.

Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in this teenage division of Little League. After completing a Little League volunteer application and passing a required national background check, parents may become involved in practices, and be eligible as coaches, managers, umpires, local league board members and other volunteer positions within the league.

Junior American Legion

American Legion Baseball, as a whole, is a variety of amateur baseball played it all fifty states in the U.S. and Canada. More than 3,500 teams participate each year. The American Legion Department of South Dakota established the program in 1925 at Milbank, South Dakota.

Junior Legion Baseball is a program for boys ages 14-16, using a conventional 90-foot diamond with a pitching distance of 60 feet, 6 inches.

American Legion Baseball offers an opportunity to play in and be a part of the American Legion World Series. The road map to participate in this prestigious tournament includes both state and regional tournaments.
