The Minneapolis Youth Baseball Association (MYBA) is a non-profit organization operated by volunteers who are passionate about teaching kids to play baseball. Our goal is to place kids at a level of competition that best supports their long-term development and reaffirms their love of baseball. 

MYBA fields the Minneapolis Millers Travel Teams for players in 3rd through 9th grade (9U - 14/15U), and the Mini Millers' development recreational program for players in 1st through 4th grade.  Our Travel Teams are divided into 3 skill levels (AAA; AA; A) and compete in the Metro Baseball League; click here for more info. Our Mini Millers development teams compete in recreational leagues; click here for more info.

Scholarships are available. Please contact registrar@mplsmillers.org with questions.

There are several offseason training opportunities open to Millers families. Please read below for more info on the various programs:

Millers Pre-Tryout Clinic
Organized by the Minneapolis Youth Baseball Association (MYBA), these clinics are for rising 9-11U players to prepare for upcoming tryouts for Spring 2025 baseball. Clinics run from Jan. 11 - Feb 16, 2025. Clinics are run by our MYBA 12U and 14/15U coaches and are a fundraising opportunity for our 14/15U teams. CLICK HERE for additional information and registration. Please note that these clinics are not open to Mini Millers.

Minneapolis Sports Academy (MSA) Baseball Clinic
For Mini Millers thru 14/15U (ages 8-15), these clinics are focused on segmented training for pitching, hitting, or fielding. Clinics run from Jan. 4 - Mar. 13, 2025 . CLICK HERE for more info and CLICK HERE to register.  For each player who registers, MSA is donating $1 per player per session for MYBA to use at a future event or training at MSA.

Roosevelt High School Youth Baseball Camp
A weekly camp every Sunday in February for players in K-8 grades who want to improve all baseball skills.  These clinics are at Roosevelt High School and are led by Roosevelt players and coaches. CLICK HERE for more info and CLICK HERE to register. Donations go to the Roosevelt Diamond Sports Booster Club.

There are still positions to be filled on the MYBA Board. We need help with the following roles:

• Registrar - Help us ensure players can play baseball each season by coordinating registration for all ages – from Minis to Travel teams. Responsible for maintaining the data of all Millers families and organizing registration for all MYBA functions. A great opportunity to work closely with all board members to build out the right messaging for the right families and create a positive experience for all families going through the registration process. If you care about the experience of being part of the Millers, this is a great role for you.

• Fundraising Coordinator - Maintain relationships with key sponsors and creatively pursue new sponsorship opportunities to help offset season fees and keep MYBA financially accessible for families in the community. Foster relationships with local businesses to encourage them to support the athletic endeavors of our players, as well as pursue fresh endeavors, such as charitable gambling, in order to broaden our fundraising horizons. If you care about the financial viability of the program, this is a great role for you.

The Registrar position would require joining the board (attendance at monthly board meetings of 2 hours/month) and approximately 10-20 hours per month of work depending on the time of year. The Fundraising position could be a board role if you’d like to get more involved, or could be a volunteer position that covers the number of dibs hours needed for the year.

Please reach out to Dave Oehler at president@mplsmillers.org with any interest or questions.

Volunteer hours, also known as "Dibs", are required from all families of players participating in the full 2025 spring/summer season. Time commitment for volunteering varies according to age and program, but if there are multiple players in a family, you only need to fulfill one set of hours based on the player at the higher level (e.g. if you have a 9U and a 12U player, you are required to complete the 12 hours required for 12U families).

For more information on Dibs, please click here.

Where’s my team?
Each 12U team family will join their player’s team, and proceeds generated from FlipGive purchases will go toward team fundraising for their out-of-state tournaments and other qualifying items!

All other teams will fundraise for their combined age group in general; families will select the age group for their player within the app (e.g. 13U combined Teams). If you have more than one player with the Millers this year and one is playing 12U, please join the 12U team. If not, you may select any of your players’ age groups
