Welcome to Foley Youth Baseball!
Foley Youth Baseball was started in 2008 by a group of parents led by Dan Wennerberg with a mission to provide a safe, fun, and educational environment for the youth in our area. This organization is made up entirely of volunteers, many of whom work year-round to make sure the mission is carried out. We thank all parents, guardians, and players for all of the support in this mission! Read our full mission statement.
League Information
Foley Youth Baseball participates in the Central Minnesota Community Baseball League (CMCBL) and the Gopher State Baseball League. The CMCBL includes players in grades 2-9, ages 8-15. CMCBL games are played weeknight evenings, typically a couple games a week. The league is geared toward player development and closer proximity for game travel. CMCBL typically has a season of 14-16 games and one end of season tournament in mid-July. The Gopher State League teams include players in grades 5-8, ages 11-14. This league is competitive play comprised of 16 league games beginning in May thru the end of June and play-offs beginning mid-July. GSBL involves likely weekend commitments and the potential for 60-90 minutes for travel for some away games. Gopher State teams are picked based on evaluations that take place each fall. Coaches will reach out to the parents/guardians of their team in early spring to coordinate practice dates and times. Season schedules and league information will be posted on the sites listed above.
We also provide a Coach Pitch, non-competitive league for children in Kindergarten through grade 2 (ages 6-8). These teams practice and scrimmage against other Foley teams at the Foley school baseball fields. No traveling is necessary for the Coach Pitch league. This league starts in mid June and ends the end of July.
The VFW league is made up of 10th graders and the Legion league is 11th and 12th graders and are completely independent from the CMCBL and Gopher State League.
All leagues, except VFW, play games in the evenings; usually around 6:00 pm. CMCBL and Gopher State League travel from Sartell to Pine City and go as far south as Rogers, MN with about half of the games being held at the Foley school baseball fields. Parents/guardians provide transportation to the games and practices.

Community Support
With the help of our sponsors, parents, and guardians, Foley Youth Baseball has been a great success to the children and teens in our community. Please continue to support FYB by volunteering to coach, help out with baseball field maintenance, assist at tournaments, as well as bake sale fundraisers.
