Updates
The revived MYBA is inviting parents, players, coaches, school representatives, alumni, business owners, donors, and community members to help organize the next phase of Mendocino baseball.
Why This Matters
Mendocino has Little League, travel ball, local teams, clinics, and other baseball organizations that all need reliable access to quality fields. But when the parks are not actively being used, there is no dedicated baseball-first organization responsible for coordinating maintenance, volunteers, scheduling, fundraising, and long-term improvements.
The school district does not currently have the funding to keep up with every facility need, and CCM's broader mission is not centered specifically on baseball field stewardship. MYBA can help fill that gap by creating one organized, baseball-focused structure to support the fields, the players, and the future of the game in Mendocino.
The Three Field System
A 50/70 field that can be converted to full-size baseball when needed. This field is capable of supporting high school play and 18U travel ball tournaments. A great location for competitive development.
A Little League-sized community field that could potentially be converted for 50/70 use with a 200' HR fence which could allow for some exciting games, skills clinics, practices, and summer tournaments.
A 50/70 dirt-infield step-up field for players moving into larger base paths. This field is ideal for teaching fundamentals, having clinics, and hosting games.
The Plan
MYBA is organizing a practical timeline to restore the association, pursue a field stewardship partnership, secure Friendship Park as a home base, and host Mendocino's first regional tournament by 2027.
Re-establish the association, confirm board leadership, organize volunteers, and invite families, coaches, schools, alumni, businesses, and donors into the formation process.
Use community support and a practical maintenance plan to ask the school board to let MYBA help manage, improve, and maintain Mendocino's baseball fields.
Pursue the Friendship Park lease so it can become MYBA headquarters again. Creating a reliable home base for games, clinics, community gatherings, and tournaments.
Build the volunteer, sponsor, scheduling, and field-readiness systems needed to host a youth baseball tournament that benefits players and local businesses.
Organization
MYBA exists to coordinate the people, fields, volunteers, fundraising, scheduling, and maintenance needed to support baseball across Mendocino. By bringing these efforts under one focused organization, we can create better fields, stronger programs, and a more sustainable future for every player.
Baseball Tourism
Regional tournaments bring families, teams, and visitors into town for full weekends of baseball. That means hotel stays, restaurant visits, fuel purchases, shopping, and new visitors discovering the Mendocino Coast.
Our goal is to host Mendocino's first regional tournament by 2027.
Public Invitation
Parents, players, coaches, volunteers, sponsors, business owners, and community members can all help move this plan forward.
