If you have not already done so, please register your child for the 2012 Carmel Unified Youth Baseball (CUYB) baseball season at: 2012 CUYB Registration and Payment Forms.  The early registration process will continue until January 20^th, 2012.   All players in the Pinto, Mustang, Bronco and Pony divisions who register and pay on-line by January 20th receive a $15 discount.  Regular registration commences January 21^st, but will be at the higher annual fees.

 

Sunday January 22nd, CUYB will be conducting our Skills Evaluation Day for all registered 7-yr to 12-yr old players (Pinto, Mustang and Bronco players) at Larson Field near Carmel Mission.  The Larson Field Snack Bar will be open.  We will also be sponsoring a complimentary baseball clinic for each age division.  Pony division players will be conducting their Skills Evaluation Day at the Carmel Middle School Pony field.  All players should bring their own bats, gloves, helmets and cleats as they will be participating in all phases of the sport.  CUYB will have spare bats and helmets available if needed.

 

If you have not registered and/or paid, please arrive 30 minutes prior to the start time below to finish the process.  All players must check-in and bring a copy (not the original) of your child’s birth certificate which will be kept confidential and will verify division status.  

 

We are instituting a “recycle” program for your gently-used baseball equipment and apparel.  Many of our children have outgrown, or barely used, much of their baseball equipment and apparel.  This is the perfect opportunity to find a new home for all that gear.  Our league has many new families with young players that would greatly appreciate any of these items.  Please bring your baseball gear (i.e. bats, gloves, balls, cleats, helmets, baseball pants) to our Skills Evaluation Day registration table on Sunday, January 22^nd at the Larson baseball fields below the Carmel Mission.  We will organize and distribute the gear at our Opening Day festivities to many of our new and younger players.

The Larson Field clinic and skills evaluation process will last about two hours for each age group.  The schedule for our Skills Evaluation Day is as follows (all age groups are based on your child's age on April 30th, 2012):

8-Year old's Pinto Clinic starts at 9:00 a.m.
