“The one constant through all the years, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers.  It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again.  But baseball has marked the time.  This field, this game, is part of our past…. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that could be again.” James Earl Jones, Field of Dreams

FYBO REGISTRATION FOR THE 2010 SPRING SEASON
Registration for the 2010 spring season of Franklin Youth Baseball will begin online on January 1st, 2010 at www.sportsmanager.us  A $50 late fee will be applied per player for every registration after February 6, 2009. Walk in registrations will be held at the Franklin Elks on January 30, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. and on February 6, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. First time players, and any player not having participated in the spring season of 2009, must register with a copy of their birth certificate. First time players would include applicants age 7, born 5/1/02 – 4/30/03.

New for 2010, any child born May 1 through August 31 in the years 2001 through 2003 is now eligible to play within his/her grade level. This is a one time option to play at grade level in the 7 (Rookie), 8 (Bantam) and 9 (Single A) year old leagues. At the end of the 9 year old season, the Parent/Guardian will make a final decision to allow the player to either advance in all following years at grade level or repeat and stay in the 9 year old division and advance in following years at league age. Any parent/guardian considering this option must come in person to registration, fill out a Letter of Intent to play at grade level and provide a copy of the players’ birth certificate. FYBO Board members will be available to answer any and all questions regarding this option. Please direct any questions to: FranklinYouthBaseball@yahoo.com.
