Helping hundreds of kids each year achieve their softball and baseball dreams
FIRST ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14TH, 2025
OCCONEECHEE GOLF CLUB
HYAA is hosting our first Annual Golf Tournament benefiting the children of our community. Funds raised through this event will directly offset the costs associated with registration for boys and girls to play softball and baseball in 2026.
HYAA delivers softball and baseball programs for nearly 800 children a year in Orange County, and our over 80-year history has had a lasting impact on the community. This event and others like it support the mental, physical, and social development of the youth in Orange County, and we’re proud to have several generations of players who have now become parents and grandparents of participants.
Flyer below can be filled out and returned to fundraising@hyaabaseball.org. There are a limited number of spots for this event, so get your registration in now!

Local Rules
Each year, HYAA reviews all the Local Rules that are in place for league play to promote fairness, sportsmanship, more level playing time, and safety. Where these rules do not apply HYAA will refer to the Cal Ripken Rules for 4-12 baseball and the Babe Ruth Rules for 8-12 softball. Please review these as needed and before each season as things can change based on Rules Committee suggestions to the HYAA Board.
Financial Assistance
First and foremost, HYAA understands the situations that the economy has forced upon our many league families. Our policy has been and continues to be that HYAA will not turn children away based on their family’s ability to pay a registration fee. We also understand that it can be difficult sometimes to ask for help. Additionally, we’ve had parents ask if a child on scholarship will receive the same benefits of all other players. The answer is, yes! Players benefiting from financial assistance are not treated any differently. Neither in uniform nor playing time. Coaches never know the player status and can not possibly reduce playing time based on this.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact the HYAA President or Vice President directly for information regarding financial assistance. See the Board of Directors for the current contact information.
Sponsorship Application
We are pleased to offer area businesses the opportunity to sponsor this great community program. In 2023, we fielded softball and baseball teams comprising of almost 900 players ranging in age from 4 to 15 years old. Your sponsorship plays a significant role in making our program a reality for many of these children by offering the registration cost per player. The sponsorship program also allows HYAA to offer scholarships to eligible families, and discounts for multi-player families. Your sponsorship contributes significantly to our ability to keep the program affordable and available to all. For those interested in sponsoring HYAA, please contact sponsorships@hyaabaseball.org.
