Duxbury Youth Baseball's mission is to provide a safe and supportive environment for the boys and girls of Duxbury to enjoy and learn the game of baseball. Our goal is to enhance every child's experience through personal instruction and organized games so that baseball becomes a source of lifetime enjoyment. DYB tries to promote fundamental principles of sportsmanship, fair play, and teamwork that can be applied throughout life.

In 2011, nearly 1,000 kids participated in one of our programs. In the spring, we offer an in-town league; open to all kids aged 5-15, that runs from April through mid-June. In the summer, we offer both an in-town league as well as several travel teams that represent Duxbury against surrounding towns. Depending on age group, these teams play in travel-team tournaments or in one of two south shore leagues: the Suburban League or the South River League. Our fall league consists of instruction and pick-up games each Saturday morning from mid-September through the end of October. In addition to these leagues, we will continue our series of free clinics throughout the spring and summer seasons as well. In keeping with our mission, all of these programs emphasize instruction and skill-building in a safe, fun environment.

Thank you for your continued support of our mission. We look forward to helping create a lifetime of memories for your children in 2012.
