Chandler Youth Baseball (CYB) is a locally run, non-profit baseball league for kids, ages 3 thru 18, formed in 1969. In 1998 CYB became associated with PONY Baseball of America. PONY stands for "Protect Our Nation's Youth". PONY Baseball of America is a non-profit corporation started in 1951 and is a national competitor to the better known "Little League".

CYB is run by an all-volunteer Board of Directors elected annually by its members. We have volunteer opportunities for our parents/family members or community at whatever capacity you can participate in. So, how can YOU help? See below.

 

Coaches:

CYB is always looking for volunteer coaches at every division level. If you are interested in becoming a head coach or assistant coach, please consider applying today. Note: Information on our division levels is located under the "League Information" tab. 

No special training is required to coach in CYB. However, we do provide training for coaches prior to the spring season and strongly recommend that they take advantage of it. 

The head coach is responsible for scheduling all practices including the site, date, & time for each practice. The league provides the ability for coaches to select practice times using the website and pays for the lights.

The league is responsible for scheduling all games, normally 1-2 games per week. Coaches are given the opportunity to let the league know of any scheduling preferences.

The head coach is expected to attend a preseason meeting where specific information regarding the season will be presented.

 

Requirements:  All coaches must be at least 21 years old and are required by the City of Chandler to go through an annual background check.

You will need to fill out our coach application even if you have coached in the past. To access the application, you will need to enter your login ID and birthdate. If you do not have a login ID, please click the button to request one.

Click "Personal Information" on the menu, enter or update any of the items and click "Update Information".

Click "Coaching Application" on the menu, enter the information and click "Submit New Application".

Once the application is submitted you will be contacted by a CYB Division Coordinator.

 

Assistant Coaches:  Assistant Coaches are required to follow the same process as above. The number of coaches allowed varies by division. Please see our League Information page for details and rules.

Assistant coaches should assist with team practices.

 

Team Mom/Dad:  All team parents are welcomed. A team parent is someone who could manage snacks for the teams after the end of a game; assist with practices or keeps score of the game and/or pitch counts. We encourage parents to get involved to assist their child's team. If you are interested in being a Team Parent, please talk to the Head Coach of your child's team prior to the start of the season.

 

Thank you for volunteering!
