| Welcome to the home of Bolton Youth Baseball and Softball Programs.
Our program is designed to give all children ages 5-15 the opportunity to have fun learning and playing the great American pastime of baseball and softball.
On this website you will find all the information you need to be an active participant in our program, including schedules, game rules, information on special events, teams and BoD contact information. We are a league run entirely by volunteers and largely supported by our generous local sponsors, so please consider registering as a volunteer to help make Bolton Youth Baseball a great program for years to come.
We encourage all kids to get out there and play one of the many Bolton youth sports programs. If you have any additional questions, please start by visiting our PARENT RESOURCE pages or contact a league administrator listed on the CONTACTS

Team Managers and Coaches (especially new ones) are required to attend this mandatory meeting. CORI Forms are available on the Bolton Little League Website. They will also be available at tryouts on March 20th as well at this meeting. By Massacusetts State Law, CORI forms must be filled out by any potential Manager or Coach every year. You cannot coach if you do not turn in a CORI form !!!. We will meed to make a copy of your Driver's License (or other suitable photo I.D., so be sure to have it with you. Please make every attempt to turn in your CORI form by March 27. It is very difficult when we have to chase down coaches for these forms.
All Coaches must take part in the Safety Meeting and their respective Coaches meeting. (Those coaches who attended last year's safety meeting are excused from the Safety portion of the meeting but are free to stay for the Safety meeting. We have a list of last year's attendees to the safety meeting and you can check with David Bradlee, Bolton Little League Information Officer if you are unsure if you went to last year's safety meeting.)
Coffee will be provided and equipment will be distributed.
This event will cover rules and guidelines for coaches for the 2010 Little League Season. You will be updated on any Little League Rule changes and will be given a safety presentation. .
Agenda is as follows:
9:00 AM Coaches Meeting - Majors/Minors coaches including review of key rules, basic coaching guidance and Q&A

posted 02/11/2010 Hi Parents,
Spring is around the corner so this means baseball season is coming. Growing kids have developing bones and ligaments and as they get older the chance for injury increases without proper conditioning. Each season one or two kids will develop a sore arm or exaggerate a condition due to over exertion. Kids attending tryouts and even those who will be assigned to Major or Minors teams would benefit from one or two light throwing sessions prior to season start to avoid injury.
Also from our past experience, kids attending tryouts who did some hitting or took a clinic have been far less stressed during the tryout process. Naturally the kids skills are going to be rusty and many kids get stressed no matter how much we (evaluators or board members) tell them we know they are rusty and just to be themselves and have fun. Those who attended clinics or did some hitting and/or fielding have shaken off the rust and this gives them more confidence in their ability and reduces their stress.
We are making you aware because as a league and as parents we want every child to have a positive baseball experience not only during the season but from the beginning.

posted 04/03/2007 BYB Parents/Managers/Players:
Just a reminder of the new Little League rule that will be coming into effect for 2009 season. For the 2009 season Little League International and subsequently BLL, have mandated that all bats meet the new league standard. This rule will apply to all levels of LL baseball, even for T-Ball.
  Note that not all bats will have the appropriate labeling/markings so buyer beware!
Rule 1.10 (baseball only)
NOTE 3: Beginning with the 2009 season, non-wood bats used in divisions of play Little League (Majors) and below must be printed with a BPF (bat performance factor) rating of 1.15 or less.
- What does this mean? Bat manufacturers agreed several years ago that the BPF (bat performance factor) of bats they are now manufacturing will not exceed a 1.15. The BPF is a formula that measures how fast a baseball comes off the bat. Starting on Jan. 1, 2009, however, all bats used in the Little League (Majors) Division and below must be designated (printed) with a BPF of 1.15 or less.
NOTE 4: Non-wood bats may develop dents from time to time. Bats that cannot pass through the approved Little League bat ring must be removed from play. The 2 ¼ inch bat ring must be used for bats in all softball divisions, and in the Tee Ball, Minor League and Little League Baseball divisions of baseball. The 2 ¾ inch bat ring must be used for bats in the Junior League, Senior League and Big League divisions of baseball.
- What does this mean? For a non-wood bat to become dented over time is normal. But some umpires have been disallowing bats that are slightly dented. As a result, Little League will providing a number of Little League Approved bat rings at no charge to every league for use in all divisions of play. Umpires who are active in the Little League Umpire Registry also will receive one bat ring at no charge. Additional bat rings may be purchased from Little League International or the Regional Center. The ring has holes for both sizes and is made of sturdy plastic. If the bat passes through the proper ring, it is “legal.” (Obviously, however, if a bat has visible cracks in it, it should not be permitted in a game.)
