Welcome to Bel Air Youth Baseball & Softball

As the oldest and largest youth baseball and softball program in the county, the Bel Air Recreation Committee is proud to offer a premier community sports experience. Every Spring, over 700 kids take the fields to learn the game, build lifelong friendships, and develop exemplary sportsmanship.

Whether your child is picking up a bat for the very first time or preparing for high school competition, we provide a structured, fun, and developmental environment for players of all skill levels.

🗓️ Our Seasonal Programs

We keep the love of the game going with two distinct, action-packed programs each year:

• 🌸 Spring Season (Main Program): Runs from Early April – Mid-June. This is our primary competitive and instructional season, featuring multiple weekly practices and games.

• 🍂 Fall Season (Instructional Program): Runs from Early September – Early November (8 weeks). A relaxed, developmental league focused heavily on skills progression, transitioning divisions, and staying active. All commitments are strictly on Sundays.

• 📝 Registration Window: Mark your calendars! Registration for our massive Spring season officially opens in Late December. Spots fill up quickly!
