Hello BYBL Families, As you complete the registration process, you will notice a $60.00 per player fundraising fee built into your registration costs. This fundraiser was implemented to help support the much-needed field improvements in 2019 and beyond.

Our amazing field maintenance volunteers have worked tirelessly over this last year overhauling these fields to give your child a better playing experience but there is much more that needs to be done. Below are a few examples of the improvements we are looking to make:

• Laser-grade and add amendments to infield skins for playability, safety, and proper drainage *Rebuild pitching mounds to proper heights/grades
• Add dugout tarp covers to fields 2 & 4
• Install semi-permanent bat racks in dugouts
• Repair any inconsistencies in the playing field

Last 2 years we have required our families to participate in a fundraiser. Unfortunately, the registration fees alone, which have remained consistent, are not enough to make our fields great. We need your help.

Fundraiser: For $60.00 per child, each child will receive 12 raffle tickets. Ideally, you should sell each raffle ticket for $5 to recoup the $60.00 but it's completely up to you. You may choose to keep them for yourself. The raffle will take place at some point later in the season and winners don't need to be present. There will be more information to follow as to how and when the raffle tickets will be distributed to your child and a list of potential prizes will be available soon. Please continue to check our website at www.bybl.org and/or follow us on Facebook at Bolingbrook Youth Baseball League for updates.

B.A.C. fee: The Bolingbrook Athletic Council (B.A.C.) encompasses nine volunteer youth sports organizations. The Council, through the Park District, is responsible for coordinating between its member organizations, facility and field usage, and coach's certifications. It serves as an advisory board in matters of youth sports. Each B.A.C. organization is independent of the Bolingbrook Park District and is financially self-sufficient. Any child who participates in any of the B.A.C. programs is assessed a participation fee. While I can't speak to any of the other programs, for BYBL, this fee is used to offset the cost of the field lights, concession stand lights, water, electricity, etc. If you are a Bolingbrook resident the fee is $7.00. If you are a non-resident it is $15.00. If you'd like more information about the B.A. C. please visit www.bolingbrookparks.org.

As always, thank you for your support!

BYBL President
