Hello Shelby Ball Fans,
I think we can all agree that 2020 was a challenging year. The good news is we are planning for a full 2021 season for Shelby Youth Ball. Precautions and protocol will be in place to limit the spread of COVID-19, and we ask that everyone comply to ensure a successful season.
Registration will be open the week of February 1st .
Thank you to the small SYB leadership team who has carried a heavy load over the last few years. As some families age out of the program, it is more important than ever to recruit new families to volunteer. The Town Board has also committed to allocating more resources to run the program this year. As we start to plan the season, the Town Board would like to appoint seven individuals to serve on a newly formed SYB Committee, which will take the place of the SYB Executive Board structure used in the past. The committee will include some leaders from last year, and several opportunities for new members. Please contact Town Administrator Christina Peterson or any Town Board member if you are willing to serve on the committee. Another opportunity to volunteer is to serve as a coordinator. You do not need to be on the committee to be a coordinator. Please let Christina Peterson or Gregg Erickson know if you are interested in being a coordinator or co-coordinator for any of the following: • Concessions • Fields & Grounds • Equipment • Sponsorships • SYB Tournaments • Player Evaluations • Uniforms • Tee Ball • Umpires • Fundraising.
Keep an eye on the SYB website (www.shelbyball.org) and facebook page for further information on COVID-19 protocol, registration, evaluations, meetings, and practice/game schedules. Thank you for your interest and support.
Sincerely,
Tim Candahl, Town Board Chairperson
Gregg Erickson, SYB General Coordinator
Christina Peterson, Town Administrator
