Bentonville Youth Baseball Program Update
Bentonville Youth Baseball and Bentonville Parks and Recreation are excited to announce a continued partnership in offering the Bentonville Youth Baseball program. Bentonville Parks and Recreation will assume the administrational responsibilities of the program in 2021. This includes registration, scheduling, league organization and operation.
Moving forward, the Bentonville Youth Baseball board will help guide the baseball program giving direction and advice to the programming staff at Bentonville Parks and Recreation. During this transition, players and parents can expect the same great service, organization, and level of play that they have become accustomed to.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have adjust our program format and added new safety precautions to provide the best experience possible. Please click here for more details.
