When does the season start?

Do you have equipment available for purchase?

Families are invited to bring any unwanted baseball equipment to Spring Training on March 11. We will sort and offer this equipment on a first come-first serve basis at the March 19 Spring Training.

My child is playing for his school team. Can he also play Amherst Baseball?

Yes! We work closely with the schools to ensure that kids can play both school and town baseball by avoiding conflicts with practices and games.
