We are pleased to announce an important change to our Junior Babe Ruth League that will greatly enhance the baseball experience for all participants. Starting in 2013, we will have a Junior Babe Prep division for teams comprised only of seventh graders. These Prep teams will play against other Duxbury Prep teams and Prep teams from Kingston, Marshfield, Pembroke, and Plymouth. For eighth and ninth graders, our Junior Babe division will consist of teams that will play each other and other teams of eighth and ninth graders from the same participating towns. We expect that this new organization of our former Junior Babe Ruth League (7
th–9
th graders playing only other Duxbury teams) will improve the experience for seventh graders who are making the difficult transition to the 90’ diamond, improve the quality of play for eighth and ninth graders who are bigger and more experienced, and provide both divisions the opportunity to match up against out-of-town teams.
The Senior Babe Ruth League (ages 16-19) does not begin until the summer. Registrations for that league and all other summer leagues will take place at a later date.
Duxbury Youth Baseball's mission is to provide a safe and supportive environment for the boys and girls of Duxbury to enjoy and learn the game of baseball. Our goal is to enhance every child's experience through personal instruction and organized games so that baseball becomes a source of lifetime enjoyment. DYB tries to promote fundamental principles of sportsmanship, fair play, and teamwork that can be applied throughout life.
In 2012, nearly 1,000 kids participated in one of our programs. In the spring, we offer an in-town league; open to all kids ages 5-15, that runs from April through mid-June. In the summer, we offer both an in-town league as well as several travel teams that represent Duxbury against surrounding towns. Depending on age group, these teams play in travel-team tournaments or in one of two south shore leagues: the Suburban League or the South River League. In addition to these leagues, we will continue our series of free clinics throughout the spring and summer seasons as well. In keeping with our mission, all of these programs emphasize instruction and skill-building in a safe, fun environment.
Thank you for your continued support of our mission. We look forward to helping create a lifetime of memories for your children in 2013.
