Prior to COVID-19, online registration was scheduled to open April 1st and in-person registration on April 21st and 23rd. Please be advised that registration will be moved back to a later date (TBD). The KYA Board is optimistic that we will be able to provide baseball/softball this summer. However, at this time, we have chosen to support the request of Governor Little, the Kimberly School District and the City of Kimberly by staying home if possible and not congregating in numbers greater than 10. 

Please take advantage of your time at home with your kids, play catch with them and find different ways to practice. By doing so, not only will your athlete’s skills improve - your relationships will also.

Sincerely,

Jeff May
KYA Baseball Coordinator
