BYSA is proud to offer both Advanced (AB) Baseball and Xtreme (XS) Softball. Both of these programs exist in addition to our regular recreation seasons. AB and Xtreme teams are competitive teams that play against other parks throughout the course of the season. These teams are selected through tryouts at the beginning of each spring and fall season. 

More information about the West Florida Advanced Baseball League, which BYSA competes in, can be found here: https://www.wfabaseball.com. Additional information about the Xtreme Fastpitch program of Babe Ruth can be found here: Babe Ruth Xtreme Fastpitch. Our goal at BYSA is to offer an AB/Xtreme team at each age group, depending on player and coach interest. Managers for each AB/Xtreme team will be identified and selected through an interview process each season.

In order to participate in an AB/Xtreme season, players must:

• There are no longer geographical boundaries for each youth park. Players can play at BYSA regardless of where they live or go to school.
• Not be playing on a travel team during the AB/Xtreme season.
• Be signed up and participate in the regular rec season. EXCEPTION: In the fall, players can receive an exemption if they are playing another sport (ie. basketball, football, soccer). 
• Attend a tryout and be selected to the team.
• Not have any outstanding BYSA account balances. 

Notifications about tryouts will be made prior to the beginning of the regular season. All people who registered for that season will receive an email through Sports Engine and information will be communicated via the SE email groups, social media, the BYSA website, and through the RainedOut text alert system.

AB/Xtreme will require additional fees, which will be determined prior to tryouts. We try to keep fees minimal to cover uniforms and umpire fees. Fees generally are the same as the rec season fees, ranging between $150-175 for an AB/EX season over the previous few seasons.

While each team will be slightly different, most AB/Xtreme teams will play doubleheaders every other Sunday as part of their AB/Xtreme league play. These games are typically at parks locally within our district, but might require up to an hour drive. On Sundays when there isn't a doubleheader, AB & Xtreme teams will have a set practice time. AB & Xtreme teams will also have a set practice night on Friday night.

8u Team Make-up Tryout: Tuesday, January 30th @ 6PM
