We welcome each and every new member to the league - it is vitalizing to the league to have new blood in the game each year. These 14 Clubs bring a combined 300+ players into ENYTB (10% of the total).

Where things currently stand on the new season.......

We are off to a great start in what should be another exciting season for the league and its members. We currently have in excess of 200 teams registered in the league, about the same as last year. We also have more than 20 teams registered at each of the major age divisions: 13U, 14U, 15U, 16U and 17U/18U. This is the first time we have registered more than 20 teams at all five SUPER 8 age divisions. And the best news of all is we have a record 35 teams registered at 13U, which portends well for future league growth.

We just finished scheduling the 9U-12U divisions. Those ages will begin play in only 11 days, weather permitting!

In a little over two weeks (APR 15), registration will close at all ages from 13U up. Don't get left at the starting line. Do these five things before APR 15 and your team will get a schedule:

1 - Fill out your team order form (tournaments etc.);

NOTE: Take advantage of FREE eligibility for the ENYTB EarlyBird program and SUPER 8 tournament as well as the NABF and PONY Championship Tournament Series. However, to be eligible for these things, you must select these options on your team order form.

2 - Pay amount shown on your invoice (new members include $225 security deposit if you haven't already done so);

NOTE: My address is on bottom of every webpage.

3 - Fill out scheduling inputs (club GM enters field time and teams enter team availability):

NOTE: Video tutorials exist for both interfaces.

NOTE: If your team is signed up for ENYTB EarlyBird program, you must have your field and team availability entered by this weekend!

4 - Get your players on your rosters ASAP;
5 - Get Debbie (ddoraz15@gmail.com) an electronic copy of proof of age for players not already confirmed in the system and same for proof of insurance. Use smart phone to take picture and email.

Schedules for teams 13U and older will be released about May 1.

The schedule for the EarlyBird program (13/14) will be released in a week or so.

Clubs that maintain single point of contact throughout the year will qualify for ENYTB's rebate program ($50 per team). If you are stuck or confused about anything, contact your club GM. If he can't help you, have him contact me or if he prefers, he can let you contact me directly via our HelpDesk and forego the end-of-season rebate.

You are now fully up to date on all things ENYTB!
