Remember, all of the parks in the city have come together to form the Lowell Youth Baseball and Softball League (LYBSL). This organization does not replace the current park system we have in Lowell, but instead will act as the governing body for each of the baseball and softball league throughout the city, including PYO. It’s designed to:

- allow the joint buying power of the leagues to lower costs
- increase participation across the city
- allow for best practices from coaching to fundraising to concession stand management and more to be shared
- streamline scheduling
- maximize the participation and competitiveness of our summer teams against other towns
- and much more…

If you would like to learn more about the new parent organization, please feel free to go to lybsl.org. You can also register for the upcoming season on that site by hovering over the Registration tab and selecting PYO from the dropdown menu. It will take you to the same spot as on the PYO site https://www.lybsl.org/page/show/7779665-pyo

Please share this information with as many people as you can. We all know what a great community PYO has built over the years, and we want to include as many families as possible in the fun. Can’t wait to see old friends and add new ones this season.
