FAQ's
Q: Will we be playing in the NACYL?
A: The only time any group will be playing in the NACYL is when our numbers are too short to form our own division.
Q: Is our practice/game cancelled today?
A: Ashland City Parks and Recreation maintains our fields and updates the Ballfield Hotline (419-281-3018) by 3:30 each day during our season. After this time it is up to your coaches discretion whether games or practices take place, so if it's 4:30 and pouring down rain, contact your coach!
Q: What do I do if our field is locked or we need the lights turned on?
A: Ashland City Parks and Recreation employees a night security officer, reached at 419-606-1138. Call Park Security and they should be able to assist with unlocking fields and/or turning on overhead lights.
Q: We don't currently live in Ashland, can we still play?
A: Yes! While AYBSA is primarily comprised of children that live in Ashland and attend Ashland City, Ashland Christian & St. Edwards Schools, players from other districts and counties are welcome to register and participate in our league.

Q: What type of equipment/gear do we need to have? What is provided for them?
A: Each player should have their own glove, cleats and water bottle. Pitchers are required to wear face masks, and infielders at the younger ages, are encouraged to use them. AYBSA provides bats, batting helmets, balls and catchers gear to each team, however if your player has their own they are welcome to use them! If there are situations where you are unable to provide the basic equipment for your player, please message this page as scholarship opportunities are available!
Q: Are your leagues Co-Ed?
A: Our developmental T-ball is, and it's great to have siblings, cousins, neighbors, etc. play on the same team while they learn the game! After T-ball, boys and girls are in separate divisions.
