Spring 2026 Season
2026 will be NCYBA's 80th Season! Since 1946, New Cumberland Youth Baseball Association has held the philosophy of "Instruct, Encourage, Acknowledge." While other leagues have shifted their focus to creating highly competitive teams, often leaving players behind, NCYBA is re-focusing on it's core philosophy to welcome players of all skill levels and instruct them, encourage them and acknowledge them. Too often in today's society, the focus on winning is pushed too hard at a very young age, causing select players to rise and the others to fall behind and feel left out. We believe that with our philosophy, we can teach players of all skill levels to become their very best.
Below are the competitive divisions for the NCYBA 2026 Spring Season:
T-Ball (Ages 5-6)
Coach Pitch (Ages 6-7)
Pony/Hybrid (Ages 7-8)
Minors (Ages 9-10)
Majors (Ages 11-12)
In addition to these Divisions, we will also be offer a T-Ball Clinics for ages 4-7. This division is for players who turn 4 by January 1, 2026, and for players up to age 7 who are being introduced to baseball for the first time. The T-Ball Clinics will utilize drills and activities to introduce first time players to the basic fundamentals of baseball. This will include things such as how to hold the ball, throwing the ball, fielding the ball, how to hold a bat, how to stand in the batter's box, how to swing and hit the ball, field layout, bases, base running, and more. The focus for these players is to develop the basic skills in order to help them succeed as they age into the T-Ball Program.
T-Ball Clinics will be held weekly on Sundays. They will consist of six sessions starting at 12 Noon and running until approximately 12:45pm. If there are a large number of players signed up for Clinics, players may be split into two groups, with one group starting at 12 noon, and the second group starting at 1pm. * If we have enough advanced clinic players, those players may play one short weeknight game per week in addition to the Sunday Clinic session.
