LYNCHBURG — It’s America’s past time and a whole lot of fun for local kids. Youth baseball is coming back to Lynchburg this spring and sign ups begin soon.

Lynchburg Youth Baseball recently announced that signups for the 2021 season would begin on February 13. Signups are open to both Moore County players as well as those in the surrounding counties. Tryouts will be on March 6. To play, kids must be at least four years old before January 1, 2021.

“Community support and supporting communities will be what our baseball league will be about this year,” the group stated on their social media page. “There will be no player fees this year but we will be accepting donations.”
