WELCOME TO THE BUFFALO BASEBALL ASSOCIATION WEBSITE

Welcome to the home of the Buffalo Baseball Association.  We are a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide Buffalo area youth with an opportunity to play competitive baseball, learn fundamental skills, increase knowledge of the game and have fun, while promoting sportsmanship, respect and character on and off the field.

As if we weren’t already excited about the start of baseball season, this cold snap certainly is making us all crave the hot sunshine and a ball game!

Please read the following document VERY closely as there are a lot of details regarding tryouts on Monday February 15th as well as the items each player needs to bring along.

Tryouts will begin earlier this year to allow for the district cleaning and distancing protocols to be followed. Please pay close attention to your players tryout check in and start time. When it is your players check in time, we are asking that ONLY parents of 9u and 10u players and parents of players NEW to the BBA enter the BAC with their player. This is to ensure that we do not exceed the number of people in each space and to allow everyone to maintain social distancing guidelines. Once your player is checked in, we ask that you leave the building. Players 11u-14u have likely been through this process and can independently check themselves in. There will be board members assisting them in the sizing of their hat and jersey. 

++++Check in times can be found on the attached  sheet below****

In order to try out, each player needs to arrive with the following documents FILLED OUT:

*Volunteer deposit check $400

*Flower deposit check $75

*Player and Parent Code of Conduct Form (also on BBA website)

*Tryout check in form (also on BBA website)

*Copy of birth certificate (this is for ALL NEW PLAYERS only)

Players need their own bat, helmet, glove and water bottle as COVID protocols do not allow for the sharing of equipment. Also ensure players wear comfortable clothes/tennis shoes and if they wear a jersey it should not have their name on it. 

Players will enter Door 8 and exit Door 9 when their tryout is completed. See attached BHS map and full BBA COVID protocol document for further reference.

Please download the free REMIND app and use this link to join BBA tryouts 2021. Updates will be given when each group begins their tryout and when they are done (for example “9U group 1 has started” or “9U group 1 is done and will be exiting door 9”). There will also be board members at the exit to ensure each player has been picked up.

Whew! That is a lot! Please contact the BBA if you have any questions:
