The spring of 2007 marks the 54th season of
CHESHIRE YOUTH BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL. During its first season
approximately 200 boys were assigned to play on 14 teams
divided equally between major and minor divisions. Games
were played at the Humiston School and Legion fields.
Over the last four and one-half decades CYB/S has grown
considerably in its scope, depth and appeal. As we head into
the year 2007, almost 1200 Cheshire youths on 83 teams in 15
different divisions will be participating! Cheshire Youth
Baseball is open to all Cheshire youth with girls as well as
boys playing softball and baseball in town. The highly
successful girls softball program is part of CYB/S. CYB/S also
sponsors, runs and manages the traveling teams, the
local American Legion Team, and has supported the Cheshire
Challengers Baseball Team. In recent years, our alumni have
filled most of the roster spots on the highly successful
Cheshire High School Baseball Team. Many of our athletes
have gone on to play college baseball and several are
currently performing at the highest levels of professional
sports.
Cheshire Youth Baseball and Softball is a non-profit organization whose
sole mission is to provide organized, instructional,
recreational and competitive baseball programs to Cheshire’s
youth. It is run entirely by volunteers at the Board of
Directors, team manager and coaching levels. League players
range from the age of 6 (T-Ball) to 18 (American Legion).
The members of the Board of
Directors of Cheshire Youth Baseball and Softball take great
pleasure in welcoming you to our 54th season of league play
with registration activities beginning in early January. We
wish you, your children and our players every success both
on and off the field. We pledge our support as you enter
into what we hope is a positive experience; for it is
ultimately you, the managers, coaches and parents who will
make our program successful and beneficial to Cheshire's
youth and Cheshire's future.
