Green Bay Youth Baseball

We’re proud to welcome players ages 4–12 with a fun, instructional, and competitive baseball experience. Our spring season includes:

• T-Ball (ages 4–6)
• Bambino – Machine Pitch (ages 7–8)
• Minors – Kid Pitch (ages 9–10)
• Majors – Kid Pitch (ages 11–12)

We also run a fall season for Bambino, Minors, and Majors divisions, which is perfect for additional player development.

Green Bay Youth Baseball is also home to the Green Bay Sluggers travel baseball program.

Try outs will be held Sunday, September 14, 2025 at Optimist Park (1422 Lawe St., Green Bay, WI 54301).

7U & 8U  - Time 9:00am - 11:00 am

9U & 10U  - Time 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

11U & 12U - Time 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

All players interested in playing competitive tournament baseball in the Green Bay Youth Baseball League are strongly encouraged to try out for the Green Bay Sluggers tournament teams. As more players try out, it is possible to create multiple teams for each age division, allowing more children to play in competitive baseball tournaments.

Sluggers Player Placement Statement

We’re excited to offer a new option for player placement this season!  Families may choose for their player to try out for a Sluggers travel team based on either their age as of April 30th or the age group that matches their current grade level, as long as the player does not play in a younger age group.

This change is optional and designed to give families flexibility to find the best fit for their player’s development.  No existing Sluggers player will be required to switch teams.

Please see the below FAQ for more details.  If you have questions, concerns, or other great ideas. Please contact Eric.

Sluggers Player Placement FAQ

Q:  Can my child try out for a different age group than their age as of April 30?

A:  Yes.  Families may choose which Sluggers travel team age group their player tries out for, either based on age or grade level, as long as it’s not “down” in age.

Q:  What age group matches my child’s grade level?

A:  Here is the typical age group alignment by grade for Sluggers travel teams:

• 7U - Kindergarten and 1st Grade
• 8U - 2nd Grade
• 9U - 3rd Grade
• 10U - 4th Grade
• 11U - 5th Grade
• 12U - 6th Grade

Q:  What does it mean that players cannot play “down” to a younger age group?

A:  Players must play at their actual age as of April 30 or older, never below their age.  For example, if a player is 12 but in a lower grade, they cannot play for the 11U or 10U teams.

Q:  Is my child guaranteed a spot on a Sluggers travel team if they try out?

A:  No.  Spots on travel teams are based on tryout performance and the number of teams we can form for that age group.  While we aim to provide as many opportunities as possible, team sizes and available roster spots are limited.

Q:  Will choosing to try out for a different age group affect my child’s chances?

A:  It depends on the player and competition at that level.  Families should consider where their child will be most comfortable and challenged.  Coaches and the GBYB Board are available to provide advice and support.

Q:  Will my child always be placed on the team they request to try out for?

A:  Not necessarily.  While families can choose which age group their player tries out for, final team placement is based on a combination of tryout performance, player skill level, and team needs.

Q:  Will existing players be forced to move teams or split up from friends?

A:  No.  This option is completely voluntary. There is no requirement to change teams.

Q:  How do I let the organization know which team my child wants to try out for?

A:  Families should communicate their preference during registration.

The league provides each player with a shirt and hat. Players should have a glove and bat. For the safety of our players, bats should have a USA stamp on the handle as shown below. Additional optional items your player may want include baseball pants, cleats, belt, bat bag, and baseball socks. 

Registrations for fall leagues are closed. The fall league is open to all players with no residency or school restrictions.

GBYB accepts individual player registrations only for the fall season; we do not accept full team entries.  Teams are formed by the league after registration closes. This ensures balanced teams and a great experience for all players, regardless of where they live.

Games will begin the week of Labor Day and continue through mid-October.  Teams will begin practices in mid-late August.

Bambino (age 6, 7, or 8 as of 4/30/25)

Minors (age 8, 9, or 10 as of 4/30/25)

Majors (age 10, 11, or 12 as of 4/30/25)

GBYB allows players to "play up" in the fall to experience the next level of competition. Please register your player in the division you feel is the best fit for their development.

We are in immediate need to fill open positions on the league board: Director of Fundraising, Director of Umpires and Secretary.

Training is available for all positions. Those interested or with questions should contact Rob Marx.

If you know of any certified umpires or young high schoolers that are looking to earn some extra money, please send them our way. We are in need of umpires for the upcoming spring/summer season. 

If you are a high school student and interested but worried because you have no prior umping experience, that is okay! All that is needed is a basic understanding of baseball and we will teach you the rest.
