What Bat Can I Use?

Late Registrations are now being Accepted.
Even though teams are curently being assigned you can still register 24/7 at the newly revamped bbabaseball.com website.  You missed out on the early bird prices and the option to participate in the fundraiser to differ cost, but that doesn't mean you need to miss out on a summer of baseball fun.

Late registrants will be assigned to teams and notified once a week, Thursday night or Friday morning, beginning April 18th until the start of our games.

Spring Training was a Hit!
Sunday, March 3, BBA offered a FREE baseball and softball clinic at D-Bat Middleburg. This was a fun time had by all the participants as players were able to practice their hitting and fielding throughout the day. The clinics saw over 150 kids having fun and getting ready to hit the ballfield this summer!

THANK YOU to D-Bat Middleburg for hosting the BBA clinics and building the love for softball and baseball into our youth! If you are looking for a state-of-the-art indoor facility to practice hitting, pitching, or fielding, stop by D-Bat Middleburg at 6908 Engle Road in Middleburg Hts. They are also having their GRAND OPENING this Saturday, March 9 from 10AM to 5PM where baseball and softball players will be able to receive free clinics and take advantage of free swings in their cages throughout the day!!

THANK YOU to the Berea-Midpark High School baseball and softball players, Titans Fastpitch players, and Titans Baseball Club players for their instructional help during the clinics. Many of those players played in the BBA and it is great to partner with young role models for these clinics and we appreciate you giving back to BBA and who knows, maybe you were instructing future Titans baseball and softball players!!

THANK YOU to all the participants for showing up and enjoying our FREE baseball and softball clinics! Baseball and Softball will be coming up right around the corner and BBA wants to makes sure you have an opportunity to play this year.
