FALL BASEBALL/SOFTBALL
For the first time we are offering a fall baseball and softball option for 8U and 10U. This will be an instructional league, which means coaches will work with all players in as many different positions as possible and within the players’ comfort/ability level. Games will be more of a scrimmage style with the umpires stopping as needed to allow for instructional moments. This league is to prepare players for the main spring season. Please see the flyer for more information. Registration is only available online from August 11-25, 2025 and the link is below.
For more information, visit the 2025 Fall Baseball/Softball Flyer.

DYB and DYS have historically offered an All-Star option as has 15U and Majors Baseball. *Players attaining the age of 13 on or before Dec. 31st of each corresponding year will not be eligible for All-Star selection within the 12U Softball division.
Our goal is to provide the Newberry County community an affordable opportunity for youth to participate in baseball or softball regardless of their beginning skill level with a gradual path to becoming more competitive while still being afforded the opportunity to participate, have fun, and advance their skills. While the County of Newberry Recreation Department will take the lead in organizing and scheduling the program, the partnership with the Town of Prosperity and City of Newberry Parks, Recreation, and Tourism and Newberry County Family YMCA is vital in ensuring the County is offering the most robust baseball and softball program possible. It is also our hope that this partnership will help eliminate any confusion parents have faced in the past as to which program they should register their child(ren). The County will continue to utilize Prosperity fields and fields at the City Recreation Complex to schedule practices and games as well.
Registration can be completed at the following locations: Newberry County Family YMCA, Prosperity Town Hall, or City of Newberry Parks, Recreation & Tourism office. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions (P: 803-924-8328 or E: recreation@newberrycounty.gov).
