Financial Aid Policy

El Cerrito Youth Baseball  is an all volunteer organization dedicated to providing  youth with a safe and enjoyable place to learn and play baseball. ECYB receives no public funds. All of our expenses (which include but are not limited to field fees, umpire fees, insurance, uniforms and other gear/equipment) are paid via the registration fees, donations, and sponsorships.

Families unable to pay full registration may request Reduced Fees (typically 50% of the regular Registration Fee) by submitting a request in writing to the league president ([email protected]).  These applications will can only be granted to the extent that funds are available, including especially donations by other ECYB families made at time of registration specifically for financial aid purposes.

Applicants for reduced fees should pay the Parent Participation/Uniform Deposit and 50% of the regular player registration fee for full consideration. Requests submitted after the registration deadline may not be considered.  Applicants will be notified of the status of their request before teams are drafted.  Applicants will therefore have an opportunity to withdraw with refund if the league is unable to grant the request.
