Minneapolis Youth Baseball Association

MYBA offers a great baseball experience offering the best instruction, competition, leagues and tournaments available.

Does your kid love baseball? Does he religiously follow the Twins? Does he sleep with his glove? Does he have aspirations of being a great player?

If your kid truly wants to learn how to play the game the right way, MYBA is the place to be. For over 15 years, the Minneapolis Youth Baseball Association has helped hundreds of Minneapolis kids like him learn the fundamentals, and then get the opportunity to compete against the best teams in metro-wide leagues and state-wide tournaments.

MYBA ballplayers from ages 9-14 play home games in the state-of-the-art Leonard H. Neiman Sports Complex developed by the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board located in the Upper Bluff Area of Fort Snelling State Park.

 After many years of leading the MYBA association, Scott Zosel has decided to step down and concentrate on his new coaching opportunity at South High School. He will continue to serve on the board and be actively involved.  Thank you for your years of dedication and your continued support of the organization.  

We would also like to thank Judy McQuade for her many years of volunteer work and her amazing stories of the history of MYBA.  Judy retired from the board this year, but will continue to act as a mentor to many of us. 

Congratulations to Mike for taking on the position of president.  It is not an easy position to step into, but we are confident he will do very well.
