Atwater Youth Baseball, Softball, & Teeball Inc. - The primary objective and purpose of this organization shall be to provide a viable program of baseball, softball, and teeball for the youth of the community and to firmly implant the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage, and respect for authority so they may be well adjusted, stronger and happier youths and will grow to be good, decent, healthy and trustworthy citizens. To achieve this objective and purpose, Atwater Youth Baseball, Softball, and Teeball (AYBS&T) will provide a supervised program of baseball, softball and teeball under the rules and regulations written by AYBS&T. All board members, officials, coaches, and league members shall bear in mind that the attainment of exceptional athletic skill or the winning of games is secondary, and the molding of future citizens is the primary importance. The gauge for a successful season is the amount of fun each player is having, NOT the amount of wins each team has.

Please note that we are a family and community orientated league and as such provide the following:

• Extremely low registration fees! (We keep the fees as low as possible to allow more players & families to participate)
• Opening day "Procession of Players" (Parade) through downtown Atwater followed by lot of fun opening day activities!
• No late night ball games on school nights when players should be finishing homework or getting to bed on time!
• Almost all games for Baseball, Softball, & Teeball are held at one location so you can walk across the facilities from one game field to the next or go back & forth between two games that might be going on at the same time on different fields, this includes Baseball, SoftBall & Teeball Games!
• Almost all teams practice at one location, so that once again, parents with multiple players can avoid having to be at two places at one time or worry about having left their child at one location while having to go across town to another.
• We offer both baseball and separate fast-pitch softball programs that are fun and prepare players for Jr High School & High School programs.
• Many of our players move on to play for Atwater, Winton, Merced, & Livingston Middle Schools, as well as Atwater High School, Buhach Colony High School, both Merced High Schools & Livingston High School!

We are Atwater's Original & Longest Running Baseball, Softball, & Teeball League!!!
