About Us
Sauk Rapids - Rice Youth Baseball Association
The Sauk Rapids-Rice Youth Baseball Association (SRYBA) is a competitive baseball program for kids ages 5-16 years old that want to play baseball at a level of competition best suited to their ability. We pride ourselves on giving kids the opportunity to enjoy baseball on a more organized and elevated level. We field teams at five different age groups and are affiliated with the Gopher State Baseball League through MYAS (Minnesota Youth Athletic Services).
We hold Fall Evaluations every year on the 2nd Saturday of September. These evaluations help us set up our Community League Teams on an even level as well as create our Gopher State Travel Teams.
