Summer 2024 Games

By in News Tag

School is out for some and nearly out for others and summer baseball and softball games are underway! Here is some helpful information to help families, relatives, neighbors, friends and community members know what’s happening.

Teams: This summer, we have two tee-ball teams (Gray and Red), four coach-pitch teams (gray, red, white and blue), three girls softball teams (10u, 12u and 14u) and five boys baseball teams (10u red, 10u white, 12u, Pony and Babe Ruth).

Game Days and Locations: Tee-ball and Coach Pitch play on Sunday afternoons beginning at 3pm at Lindsay Park on the softball diamond. They play for 6 weeks, taking July 7th off. Boys 10u and 12 baseball play games on the field located across from the Elementary School on Beech Street. Home games are generally Mondays or Wednesdays, although they do travel to other towns and play throughout the week. Girls 10u and 12u softball also play on the field by the Elementary School and home games generally take place on Tuesdays or Thursdays, although they travel as well. The girls 14u plays their games at Lindsay Park on the softball diamond. Occasionally, the 12u may play there as well. Pony and Babe Ruth Baseball play games at Lindsay Park on the baseball diamond. Their game schedule varies by day. A full schedule can be viewed here.

There is no cost for admission, although we do appreciate fans supporting our concession stands.

2024 Sponsorship Opportunities

By in News, Sponsors

Manawa Youth Sports Association is getting ready to kick off our Summer 2024 Tee-ball, Coach Pitch, Softball, and Baseball Programs and is looking for support from our area businesses.

Last summer he had 150+ children registered for the program, and we are hoping for the same or more this summer! It’s just fantastic to see so many youngsters in our small community enjoying baseball and softball as well as learning at a young age to participate in a team sport. We have two sponsorship opportunities available.

We hope you will consider supporting this fantastic community program by becoming a sponsor at one of the sponsorship levels below.  Team sponsorships are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

We have many field improvements and equipment needs that we are hoping to take care of this year.  Last year our big purchase was a new outfield fence for our field by the Elementary School.  We were able to buy in-ground plugs for that fence earlier this spring.  We also invested in a second lawn tractor to assist with the field dragging on both of our fields.  This summer, we are looking to replace some of the bats that have been used for too many years and to add some additional training equipment.  Additionally, our umpire costs and uniform costs are on the rise. Your donation will help us to accomplish these goals and ensure a solid future for our program!

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and are happy to provide you with a receipt for your sponsorship or donation to our program.

Please contact us via email at MYSAManawa@gmail.com or call our MYSA Secretary, Corinne Zielke, at 920.407.0193 if you are interested in sponsoring the Manawa Youth Sports Association this summer. We will be printing our banners mid-April and hope to hear from you before then!

We have many field improvements and equipment needs that we are hoping to see to.  Three years ago we were able to purchase new helmets to ensure all met safety standards and were not out of date.  We also replaced catcher’s gear as we were able. This summer, our coaches have expressed the need for travel tees that allow them to collapse the tee and take it along to away games and practices, as well as pop up nets to give developing players the opportunity to take as many swings as needed. We’d like to provide at least 2 per team. Our 10U boys baseball is in need of new catchers gear this year, also. Another coach is interested in swing trainers, which is fantastic! We would also like to purchase a new drag for our field atop the hill by MES  Your donation will help us to accomplish these goals and ensure a solid future for our program!

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and are happy to provide you with a receipt for your sponsorship or donation to our program.

Please contact us via email at MYSAManawa@gmail.com or call our MYSA Secretary, Corinne Zielke, at 920.407.0193 if you are interested in sponsoring the Manawa Youth Sports Association this summer. We will be printing our banners at the end of April and hope to hear from you before then!
