Grand Rapids Youth Baseball Association

What a great day for some baseball!!!

Big thanks to Cherry (aka Diamond Dawgs) & Hibbing for heading over to Gunn Park for an 11U Triple Header! Always fun to battle with a couple great local talents…. Thanks for making the trip & helping us break in our newly renovated fields!!!

We’re very sorry, but we have reached maximum capacity for the 2026 season in all our leagues, and will no longer be accommodating late registration requests.

Our registration grew by an overwhelming amount this year (to over 220 kids) and we’d like to thank everyone who signed up, along with all of the coaches and volunteers that help make the whole thing possible! It takes alot more manpower than you would think to run the 3 leagues, the concession stand, manage umpires, perform all the field maintenance, and the facility preparation and maintenance that goes along with it…. Not to mention the admin time that so many people dedicate to the association itself all year long!!

So on behalf of the GRYBA Board of Directors, we’re very sorry that we have to draw the line, but also very grateful for the amount of interest that was shown this year, and for everyone who has volunteered in any capacity…

THANK YOU!!!

Pretty cool opportunities, check it out!
