Welcome to the Charles County Youth League (CCYL), where the kids always come 1st!!! 

CCYL is founded on 4 main pillars:  Have Fun, Do Your Best, Team Work, & Sportsmanship!  We teach that if you do those 4 things then you had a good day, win or lose!  We also teach that priorities (in order) are: Family, School, then Baseball/Softball!

The objective of the CCYL is to instill the values of good sportsmanship, character, community and integrity in our youth. We desire to provide them with an enriching environment where they can reach their goals of sport and exceed their own expectations.
 

CCYL is associated with Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth Baseball and Softball.  Our emphasis is to assist children in sportsmanship and skills development.  It is our desire that each child is given a positive environment to play a competitive sport.  It is CCYL's intent to use our website to provide timely, secure information to our CCYL members.  The on-line registration allows our members to register at their convenience.  It provides the CCYL Board of Directors and League Commissioners the ability to more effectively serve the children of Charles County.

The Badges for Baseball Camp is being presented for FREE through the Charles County Sheriff's Office, funded by the Cal Ripken Sr. foundation. It is two days at the Blue Crabs Stadium August 13 and 14 for ages 10-14.  Registrations are being handled through the Blue Crabs. (See Attached).
Please submit all applications to Regency Furniture Stadium's Front Office at the Front Desk.
For more info please call Sgt. Mike Vaughn at 301-399-0758 or Sgt. Carl Rye at 301-399-0558.

3 run homerun by Chris Levere to get CCYL back in the game, Ryan Oglesby was 2 for 2 with a game winning walk, and 3 1/4 innings of shut out pitching by Jake Hanks.

Here are a couple of questions that a reporter from the MD Independent asked manager Mike Hanks:

What impressed you the most about your 11-U team winning the state title?

Staying focused and never giving up.  Even in games where we were not at our best, players stepped up and made plays when needed to get us wins. We have some players on this team that can just flat out "GET IT DONE" when you need them to.  They are a special group of players, and I'm just lucky enough to get to coach them. 

Overall as commissioner of the 12-U and coach of 11U how special is this for the CCYL organization? 

I have been with CCYL as a board member and coach for 6 years.  CCYL is the best organization I have ever have had the pleasure to have been associated with, and the talent coming out of our organization is a true testament to the parent volunteers that run the organization and the coaches that help to teach these kids how to play the game right. As 12U commissioner, this year has been extra special because we have 3 state champions and 1 runner up just in our 12U baseball division.  We have the 11U 50/70 State Champs, the 11U 46/60 runner ups, 12U 46/60 state champs, and the 12U 50/70 champs.  We have many other state champs: 9U baseball, and 8U, 10U, and 12U softball as well.  We are having a great year, and hope to continue this success in the weeks and years to come with all of our CCYL teams.  I would really like to thank all of the CCYL parents and volunteers that make CCYL what it is today, and will be in the future.

12U Baseball Commissioner
