GYSBL is an independent league not affiliated with any larger national leagues or the local recreation center. Over the last several seasons, we have worked hard to establish the vision that defines the Greenville Youth Softball and Baseball League and what it stands for. Our program is growing and we look forward to continuing to grow further. Our core philosophy remains creating the safest and most positive sports experience for the children of the community. Our focus is to offer a program that not only develops athletes, but stresses the development of teamwork, leadership, and integrity among all players and volunteers.

We will be looking for coaches for the 2025 season and plan to open the coaching & volunteer application November 1st.
Anyone interested in coaching or volunteering will be required to pass a background check. Anyone planning to coach or work with players on the field will also need to complete the Heads Up Concussion Training (see the concussion training section below).
All teams will have (1) head coach, (1) assistant coach & (1) team parent. Team parents may help out in the dugout, making sure players are ready to go and following the player code of conduct. Only the head coach, assistant coach and team parent are allowed in the dugout.
In order to make the season run smoothly we are looking for additional umpires to put into our home game rotation. This is a paid position, per game. We are especially looking for adult or experienced players that are able to be behind the plate umpires.
A training session will be held attendance is expected for all umpires & coaches.
