The CSYBA will once again be hosting Fall Ball for the 2022 season. We will have 7-age groups. Fall Ball is our transitional season, so all age clusters below are based on the upcoming 2022-2023 school grade.
For Pinto, Mustang, Bronco, and Pony, all teams are recreational 'house-league' teams. All communities are required to have open registration to participate and any communities with multiple teams must make every effort to balance teams.
For our Colt, Palomino, and Thorobred divisions, it is a mixture of open-registration and pre-formed teams, as well as travel/club teams. Divisions at these age groups will be broken up by level of play, depending on enrollment.
By Saturday August 6th, communities will need to submit final team count and field availability so the schedule can be crafted. League play will begin the weekend of August 19th-21st. Regular season play will run through October 2nd for younger levels and October 9th for older levels, followed by a playoff the following weeks. Final playoff format will be determined based on enrollment. For any questions or inquiries, please contact me directly below.
For our Pony age groups and younger, all of our teams are community-based, open-registration teams. Pre-formed or all-star teams are not permitted to participate.
For our Colt, Palomino, and Thorobred divisions, teams can signup through their local park-district or youth Baseball organization, or directly through the CSYBA. The CSYBA partners with various park districts in the region where you can sign up your full team and play all games at a set home field location.
Fall Ball for the CSYBA is our transitional season. So kids will play in leagues based on the school grade they are entering for the 2022-2023 school year. The leagues listed below are all the age groups we will be sponsoring for the Fall. Again, these are based on school grades of 2022-2023.

3rd/4th Grade – Mustang
5th/6th Grade – Bronco
7th/8th Grade – Pony
9th/10th Grade – Colt

Reminder for the 2022 season. For Pinto, Mustang, Bronco, and Pony age groups, we have fully moved to the USA Baseball standard for all geographic divisions. All bats must have a USA Baseball Stamp. At the Pony Level, BBCOR bats are okay as well. (Bats with USSSA 1.15 BPF certification are NOT ALLOWED)
For the Colt, Palomino, and Thorobred divisions, all bats must be BBCOR Certified.
Any teams or communities interested in participating in the CSYBA in 2022, please feel free to contact me directly.
