Estacada Youth Baseball and Softball seeks to provide an opportunity for any child between the ages of 5 and 14 in the community of Estacada to practice, play, and learn the games of baseball and softball. EYBSA provides an opportunity to play ball for approximately 250 children in Estacada each year.

It is the goal of EYBSA to provide the most positive and rewarding youth sports experience possible for all players of every skill level, while providing the opportunity to maximize each player’s skill development, knowledge of the games of baseball and softball, and recognition of the importance of sportsmanship.

Junior Baseball Organization Inc. is an Oregon non-profit corporation that exists to provide young boys and girls an opportunity to participate in an organized baseball experience. It is the goal of Junior Baseball to provide each child, regardless of skill level, an opportunity to compete in baseball against other players of equal skill and grade.
 

We will purposefully aid in each athlete’s development of positive character traits and values that will foster success throughout their lifetime. We will coach skills, mental and physical growth, a respect for the rules of the game, and essential principles of sportsmanship, safety, and fair play.  Junior Baseball is devoted to creating an environment where coaches, parents, fans, umpires, and athletes work together to accomplish our mission.

REFUND POLICY

Estacada Youth Baseball and Softball Board recognizes that, from time to time, players may need to withdraw from a sport due to  unforeseen circumstances. Registration fees are based on a variety of costs determined by the total number of teams and number of  players registered on each team.

Because many of these costs must be paid in advance, player  withdrawals (cancellations) still result in a cost to EYBSA. As such, we have adopted the following policy for refunds to accommodate people whose plans have changed while maintaining the financial responsibilities associated with each sports season:

• Cancellations made prior to the close of registration will receive a 90% refund of payment.
• Cancellations made after close of registration, but before evaluations (or formation of teams for T-ball and Rookie levels of play) will receive 50% refund of payment.
• Cancellations made after evaluations (or formation of teams for T-ball and Rookie levels of play) will not receive a refund.
• Estacada Youth Baseball and Softball does not issue gear or uniforms to players after a cancellation has been processed.
  • ADDED for COVID-19 Pandemic
  • If EYBSA determines that the season cannot be played due to restrictions or access to fields beyond our control, we will refund 100% of fees. If game play is allowed, with restrictions in place all player registrations cancellations will refer to the normal refund policy above.
