Mavericks Baseball
 The UMYBL Baseball League offers an exceptional baseball program for players from ages 5 to 18. The objective of our League is, first and foremost, to instill in our players the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and respect for authority.
All Directors, Officers, Managers, Coaches, Players and other Members of our Program shall bear in mind that the molding of future citizens and the development of their knowledge and skills relative to the game of baseball is our primary objective. Winning the game is secondary. It is our hope to instill these ideals in an atmosphere that teaches “the game” in a healthy and spirited yet competitive environment where our players learn from not only winning ball games…but from losing as well.
