World Series Update
Plans for the 2009 Cal Ripken World Series for 12-year olds at Robert J. Nutile Field continue on many fronts. The players and coaches are conducting outdoor workouts and participating in scrimmages with other towns as summer league play draws near. Construction of the new media center at Field C is nearly complete, as the spring SYBS season draws to a conclusion. After the spring playoffs are completed, Field C will be closed for renovations as the infield and outfield will be replaced with new turf. In addition, the outfield fences will be moved back to accommodate World Series play specifications.

World Series Home

While there has been considerable progress on fundraising, the economic downturn has left us short of our funding requirements. If you or your organization would like to make a donation to help sponsor SYBS' participation in the World Series, please click here.

Host Family Program
Over the years, the Host Family program has been one of the most popular and positive aspects of the World Series experience, presenting a unique opportunity for Winchester residents to help the cause. Host Families welcoming "adopted players" into their homes results in repeated reports of lasting friendships and great memories created along the way. Learn more about this unique opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Volunteers Needed for World Series
We’re seeking individuals and community organizations to help SYBS staff a total of more than 700 volunteer shifts during the World Series tournament!
