Cumberland Valley Youth Baseball Inc.

Overview Cumberland Valley Youth Baseball Inc. (CVYB) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing baseball opportunities for children within the Cumberland Valley School District, serving players aged 4 to 18. The organization aims to promote the development of baseball skills, enhance physical fitness, and foster teamwork and sportsmanship among young athletes.

Structure and Affiliations CVYB is affiliated with Cal Ripken Baseball for players aged 4-12 and the Greater West Shore Teeners League for older players (13-18 years). This affiliation allows the organization to participate in structured leagues that offer both recreational and competitive environments for players.

Program Levels

• Teeball: Designed for first-year players aged 4-6, this level introduces the basics of baseball using batting tees to promote learning of hitting, throwing, and fielding skills.
• Instructional: Suitable for players aged 5-8, who have at least one year of Teeball experience or are first-year players aged 6-8. This level features coach-pitched games with minimal use of batting tees.
• Minors, Majors, Pony: These levels cater to older and more experienced players, with structured team play and competitive schedules.
• Teeners and Legion: Competitive divisions for older youth, extending their playing careers beyond elementary school levels.

Community Engagement and Events The organization frequently engages in community events, such as "Senators Day At The Park," which helps build camaraderie among players and families. Additionally, CVYB participates in fundraisers to support the league's activities and ensure affordability for all participants.

Registration and Benefits Registration typically opens during the late fall and includes early discounts for timely enrollment. Every registered player receives a team jersey, hat, and socks as part of their registration package. The organization also offers multi-player discounts for families with multiple children participating, and a volunteer program that allows families to earn back fees by contributing to league activities.
