MYBA is going to implement a new program this year which we hope will benefit all participants and MYBA.  We are asking parents and players to donate their used equipment – gloves, bats, shoes, heart-guards, etc. – so that we can have an “MYBA Garage Sale” during sign-ups and try-outs next spring.  All of the proceeds from the Garage Sale will go directly back into MYBA’s programs.  Any items remaining un-purchased will be donated to programs for needy children.  We hope this new program will accomplish a few things: (1) help reduce the costs for all MYBA families, (2) help all of us get rid of equipment our children have out-grown, and (3) help fund MYBA’s on-going activities.  We ask that you please donate items at the time you turn in your uniforms.  We will also have donation areas in the in-door batting cage this fall and winter. 
If you have any questions about the donation program, you can contact Dave Brown ( ) or Shawn Brandon ( ).  
Thank you for your participation and support

A friendly reminder as your season wraps up.
The team and organization surveys are now available.  They are located on the main web site page.  These are important as we continually strive to improve.  We need to know how we are doing and if you have suggestions, please don't hesitate to offer them.  If you're happy the way things are, we like to hear that too.
We would appreciate it if you found the time to fill both out, one for your child's team and one for the organization.  If you have children on different teams please fill out one per team.
Thank you for your time!

One thing about the bronco and pony team surveys.  The question about combining the Pony league with East Peoria, I am mildly surprised with the response so far.  maybe I should make it clear there will be no additional cost incurred.  And in an 18 game season, 13 of them would be in Morton and only 5 in East Peoria.  Or maybe that doesn't matter, just wanted to make sure you knew the situation.
