Website Tools Bring Players and Teams Together....

posted by Administrator 11/26/2010 01:11:49

This is the time of the year when many travel teams are seeking to fill their spring/summer rosters. It is also the time when many players and families, new to ENYTB, are seeking information related to public tryouts and/or roster openings on ENYTB teams.

ENYTB maintains various online services to assist in this matching process. They are all located on the Players/Free Agents menu. Three of those involve the public as an active participant and will be discussed here.

Free Agent Board

allows parents of players seeking to join an ENYTB travel team to make their availability known to ENYTB teams. When a player is added to the league's Free Agent Board, all ENYTB teams at the same age and one year older receive an email from the website telling them the player has been added and provides the player's baseball bio and contact info. To use this free service, parents (older players can contact us themselves) can contact Ed Frye at (518 356-9089).

Find-A-Team

also is an online capability designed to help bring together teams and players new to the league but it works in reverse fashion of the Free Agent Board i.e., member club/teams advertise their player openings and upcoming public try-outs directly to the public via the ENYTB website and parents of players seeking teams can contact them.

With FIND-A-TEAM, ENYTB members can easily post public advertisements re: openings on their team(s) and/or scheduled public try-outs. This information is displayed on the public access pages of our website, thereby giving would-be league players and their families direct access to this information.

To use Find-A-Team go to the Inside The League menu and click Teams > Find A Team. To view sample advertisements go there now by clicking FIND-A-TEAM

Find-A-Team was added to the website in early 2009. If you would like to add your own advertisements for players go ahead and do so, that is what it is there for and it is free. Any team or club person with a valid log-in is authorized to enter an advertisement. Simply click on Find A Team > Advertisements and follow the prompts. Once you are done, go to Find A Team > Public Tryouts or Find A Team > Players Needed to see how your advertisement is displayed.

NOTE: If you have previously uploaded your team or club logo to the ENYTB website (Main > Club Home > My Website), it will be automatically stamped on your announcements, giving them a more attractive appearance. If not, the upload procedure is as easy as 1-2-3. If you have a copy of the image file already saved to your hard disk, and want to upload your logo now, click

  • How Do League Participants Retrieve Their Own Password?

    Lost Password?

    enytb.com allows users to retrieve their own password at any time.

    To retrieve your own password:

    Go to the very top of the home page and click on the [Login] button. In the spawned modal, click [Lost Password?]

    Enter your ENYTB registered email address;

    Click the applicable user ID (if there is more than one).

    The system will instantly email your password to your registered email address.

    NOTE: If you get a message stating that you aren't a registered user, the system is telling you that it does not recognize the email address you have entered i.e., it is not of a valid email address/password pairing. This would happen if you have multiple email address and are entering a different email address from what you are registered under in the system. It could also mean you have typed in your email address incorrectly or that it was originally entered incorrectly to the system. If you believe it to be the latter, please contact your league navigator for assistance. If you don't know who your league navigator is, contact Ed Frye at 518-356-9089.
