Welcome to Dedham Youth Baseball

Registration for Summer 2025 Baseball will open Now

Interested in Summer Baseball?

REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS June 4th!

Dedham Youth Baseball is fortunate to have a fantastic pool of players who are eager to improve their skills and challenge themselves against top competition.  Summer baseball provides a tremendous opportunity to play competitive baseball while representing the town of Dedham.  We want to make sure parents and kids are aware of the commitment required before choosing to take part in the program.

Dedham Youth Baseball evaluates players across the 9U - 12U age groups to construct our District Tournament Teams as well as to build Suburban Youth Baseball League teams that play competitive games against local programs. 8U Participate in Friendship League.

Any child interested MUST do the following

1. You must have already been registered and participated in >50% of the games for DYB Spring 2025 Season.
2. Attend Uniform Fitting on either Wednesday (5/14) or Thursday (5/15)
3. Complete registration for summer baseball which opens on (5/15)
4. Attend tryout (based on their age) on either Saturday (5/17) or Sunday (5/18).  
   
   Note: If you cannot attend tryouts YOU MUST contact infodedhambaseball@gmail.com before the tryouts.

Who's Eligible:

• 7 & 8 Year Olds - Saturday 5/17 3:00 - 4:30 PM Nagle Field
• 9 Year Olds - Sunday 5/18 9:00 - 10:15 AM Capone Field
• 10 Year Olds - Saturday 5/17 3:00 - 4:30 PM Capone Field
• 11 & 12 Year Olds - Sunday 5/18 4:30 - 6:00 PM Capone Field

District Tournament Teams:

It is important to note that participation on the district teams will be based on evaluations at tryouts, performance in Spring season, and final decision of coaches and the DYB Board. We will select a District Team to participate in the Little League tournament for the following age group; U10 and U12 for the 2025 season. To be eligible for the Little League Tournament team, a player must participate in Spring Baseball through DYB. The commitment level for a player selected to a team is very high.  Dates for District Tournaments are not finalized at this time.  However the practices and games will be held sometime between 6/20 and 7/15.  This includes games/practices the weekend of July 4th.  If you cannot make this commitment to be available it will be factored into how the teams are formed. 

Suburban Youth Travel Teams:

The summer travel teams begin in late June and the season goes through early/mid August.  Players are expected to attend practices, regular season games, and playoffs.  If you have extensive plans to travel for the summer, especially in July, it might not be ideal.  Games are typically played during the week, and not on the weekend although there may be some exceptions.

 

Friendship Travel Teams (8U):

This Saturday (5/17) at 3:30PM at Rustcraft, we will be having a 'meet up/tryout’ for anyone that is interested in participating in travel baseball this summer.

We will have the kids participate in a little clinic style controlled scrimmage, while also chatting with and answering questions from parents about interest, availability, etc.

The Friendship League is an 8 Year Old program, but 7 year olds can also participate if they're interested and developmentally prepared. As we'll explain on Saturday, this is a FULL kid pitch league and is, for all intents and purposes, the same as the Dedham AAA League (except for the fact that they allow for a 4th outfielder). No coach pitch. No coaches on the field defensively. Umpires. Strikeouts and Walks. The whole 9 yards.

The schedule runs from late June (after Father's Day) to early August, with 2 weeknight games each week. 

If folks ARE interested, but can't make it on Sunday, please send an email with any questions you might have.

Team Size/Selection:

Distinct Teams will be constructed at the discretion of the head coaches and the DYB Boards discretion.  Suburban Youth Travel Teams will be constructed based on registrations & coach availability.  Depending on the number of kids that sign up across age groups it's possible we may have more than one team for an age group.   It's also possible that we may combine players across age groups if needed and form a B team in the older age group. 

Babe Ruth Summer Baseball

Dedham Babe Ruth has entered into the Metro South Baseball league where we will compete against surrounding Babe Ruth programs. 

This league is a 12 game season, with playoffs. You can expect to travel to surrounding towns and also have a few homes games right here in Dedham.

If you have any questions please send inquiries to  infodedhambaseball@gmail.com
