Financial Aid

Overview

Batavia Youth Baseball believes that recreational sports (especially baseball) play a vital role in our community and provide a positive quality of life for residents. For qualified residents experiencing financial hardship, we offer a limited number of Financial Aid opportunities for spring and fall seasons so children can play baseball in the community with their friends. 

The intent of the program is to provide all residents, regardless of financial status, equal and ample opportunities for their children to play baseball. It is based on the Leisureship Program offered by the Batavia Park District, and it includes waiving some or all of the registration fees per individual in a family household (does not include additional training or clinic registrations).
