MVYB&S now offers player registration discounts to adult volunteers as a thank you for your service. 

In 2025, Martha's Vineyard Little League got a new name - MV Youth Baseball & Softball, Inc.

For 2026, MV Youth Baseball & Softball has now completed updates to our email addresses and website URL.

www.mvybaseballsoftball.org

@mvybaseballsoftball.org

The Board of Directors voted to switch from a Little League organization to a Babe Ruth and Cal Ripken organization to keep league age dates consistent across regular season and tournament play. The qualifying date to determine a player's league age for baseball season is May 1st. For girls softball, the new date for age determination is Aug 31st, 2025. 

Due to this restructuring under a new organization, we needed to change our name. Our website domain and emails have now been updated as of 11/2025. (We do have a redirect in place in case you use the old URL or emails.) If you have any questions, please email: info@mvybaseballsoftball.org

The board of MV Youth Baseball and Softball is pleased to announce our 2026 board of directors after a vote taken at our annual meeting in October. 

Welcome to Kara Shemeth- Co-Fundraising Coordinator. 

Marques Rivers & Scott Braillard will take over Umpire-in-Chief duties.

This year the board approved the addition of an ad hoc position for an Outreach Liaison to the island's Portuguese speaking Brazilian  community. 

We welcome back Fab Sornas who previously held the position years ago. All other Board Members were re-elected to their positions. 

Thank you to Beth O'Connor, co-fundraiser, and Bill Vroomin, Umpire in Chief, who have both stepped-down from the board.

We are also always looking for coaches and other volunteers. Please reach out to help us prepare for the 2026 season! Registration will open in February, mark your calendars.

Sports Engine is the new registration and team software for MVYB&S, beginning in 2024. The easiest way for you to communicate with your team will be to add this app to your smart phone. When you register your player, an account will be created. If your child played last year, you already have an account. 

With the Sports Engine messaging, the parent who initially registered the player is the only person who will initially receive communication via email and/or phone. 

To add another guardian, receive texts and push notifications, please update your family profile. (The league cannot due this for security reasons.)

Here is a helpful how to article: How to add a second guardian

**If you receive a privacy error, please email: nina@mvybaseballsoftball.org and I will submit a help ticket with Sports Engine.
