About Us
About Us 
Broken Arrow Youth Baseball (BAYB) is a 501 C-3 Not-For-Profit Organization comprised of over 450 members annually. We are dedicated to promoting, developing, sustaining, and supervising a youth baseball program. This includes, but is not limited to, teaching baseball rules, baseball skills, values of teamwork, sportsmanship, safety, and other characteristics of moral citizenship. BAYB has served Broken Arrow and surrounding communities’ youth since 1972.
BAYB accepts all children both boys and girls from the ages of 3 yrs. old to 18 yrs. old.
Annually (or every 2 years for some positions) our members elect a core group of men and women that make up the Board of Broken Arrow Youth Baseball. It is the board’s duty to insure that the program stays to the objectives set out by the BAYB members as stated in the By-laws and Rules. These board members are all volunteers and are accountable to the general membership of BAYB. They serve 10 to 20 hours per week to fulfill duties needed by the organization including but not limited to scheduling, re-scheduling games, dealing with issues raised by coaches and/or parents, or players within the organization. They attend monthly board meetings to discuss issues facing the organization, to make decisions on the best way to move the program forward and serve on committees to handle topics such as Concession Stands, Tournaments, Field Maintenance etc..
The Office Staff at BAYB consists of 2 Full Time employees, an Open/General Manager and a Recreational League Manager which handle the day-to-day operations for the organization.
Contact information for the BAYB personnel is under the Executives tab on our website. BAYB asks that you be respectful of the Board Members and remember that they do have "day jobs" other than at BAYB. If you must contact them during the day, please send them an email. Otherwise contact them at a reasonable time after normal business hours. The Staff at BAYB can be contacted during normal business hours with any questions you might have also.
BAYB enters into agreements with the City of Broken Arrow for use of the City owned Park complex. We have a good working relationship with the City and appreciate their assistance and efforts at the park. The City of BA maintains the structures (buildings, fences, lights, bleachers, etc.) and real property (mow outfields, right of ways, plumbing, electrical, fertilize, etc.) while BAYB is responsible for field maintenance from the infield dirt in. We pay the City as part of these agreements, as all sports do. As any business we have other expenses, umpires, insurance, communications, labor, equipment maintenance, etc.. All of these expenses are covered by the various programs we conduct (league play, tournaments, fundraising, National tournaments, etc.). Without the contributions of each program the cost of playing baseball would be much higher. We strive to balance these costs and find ways to keep our costs down.
We at BAYB are proud of the work we do and our organization. We are excited about changes that we hope to make to improve our programs. Our ultimate goal is to keep kids playing a great sport that promotes good overall health and values to assist them in becoming good citizens. Numerous studies cite the community benefits of youth sports and our members are proud of our role in the community.
We would love for every player within our program to continue playing baseball well into their adulthood and realize they take away much more from playing than they realize. Call us at 455-BAYB for more information and if you are interested in joining our membership.
