Colonial Beach Youth Athletic Association

Please contact me if you left a bag with a phone inside at the field tonight. Thanks

If you love some laughs, catch a Peewee (JV) CBYAA game lol!

It was brought to my attention that there is some confusion about the game/ cheer schedule. I will make a separate calendar with JV/Varsity Teams A and B and have available at practices this week. It will also be posted on FB, FB Cheer, and Insta as well as emailed.

This morning it's the Honey Badgers vs. The Bulldogs. Let's go CB!

Field is good to go and games are on for today! Please note that JV is scheduled for 10AM this morning per the posted schedules.

Coaches should be reaching out, but please share with fellow team parents.

Varsity flag and Cheer were also on the field today! 4 flag teams will compete against each other this season for a Championship title. Everyone had a great time and we were so excited to have CBYAA back!

ANNOUNCEMENT

Please read for IMPORTANT CBYAA information.



As advised during parent meetings, we are in a season of development and we knew that would have its challenges. As with all things Drifter, we will handle them with humility and understanding. We thank you for your understanding and support.



UNIFORMS:

Flag Football - Team Shirts will not be ready until next week due to a machine issue with our vendor. All flag football players are to wear light colored / plain T-shirts. Shirts will be available at the second game.



Cheer - Registration for cheerleading FAR SURPASSED our hopes! While that is exciting and delightful, it meant we did not have enough uniform pieces in stock for all of the girls. We consider this a GOOD problem to have and have the information we need to order.



Cheerleaders will be wearing uniform pieces issued. If there are missing pieces or no uniform issued, all black top and bottoms are to be worn.



ARRIVAL TIMES:

Time of arrival to games should be communicated by your coaches. This may be in person, via message or social media. It is generally recommended to arrive 20-30 minutes prior to game start to ensure players are present and safely warmed up.



SCHEDULE:

A schedule is posted on the cbyaa.com page, the page and were distributed at practices. For Saturdays, where games are scheduled the game start time is followed by the team / teams playing. For cheerleaders, JV will cheer for JV games and Varsity will cheer for Varsity games.



WEATHER:

In the event that weather may affect games, a decision will be made by the CBYAA Board by 8 AM, communicated to the coaches and posted to the Facebook and Instagram pages and be broadcast through email. Please ensure that your coach and the Board has all relevant contact information for you. If you do not have coach contact information, please email us.

If games are canceled for weather, rescheduled times and dates will be published as soon as they are decided.



CONCESSIONS:

Concessions are expected to be provided through a variety of food trucks throughout the season. If this does not prove to be effective, we will re-evaluate the plans for concessions and update you. We will do our best to update you in a timely manner if issues arise.



TEAM CHANGES:

At this time, all rosters are final and teams have been assigned. There will be no further changes to teams. We have done our best to accommodate as many of the requests as we could and apologize if we were unable to meet your needs in any way.



REGISTRATION BALANCE OWED/REFUNDS:

If you owe a balance for registration fees, please ensure that these are paid. If you are unsure, please email for confirmation. These fees are used for equipment and uniforms. Payment can be made by cash, check or Zelle.



As registration is closed and rosters are finalized, any refunds owed for athletes not able to play will be reviewed and issued.



COMPLAINTS and CONCERNS:

If you have any questions, complaints, or concerns please email us at [email protected]. This is monitored by CBYAA Board members and responses are generally pretty timely. Please keep in mind that this may be throughout the day and evening and that some responses may require discussion before a response can be sent.

Shew! Fitting the ladies for their uniforms was a task! We'll be back at it for the JV Girls tomorrow! Uniforms can be washed in cold and hung to dry. Any black shorts can be worn underneath. There will be a few ladies with plan black Tshirts until an order is placed 😀 drop a pic of your Cheerleader in the comme ts if you like! We love to see the SPIRIT!

We set a goal of 100 athletes- we exceeded that! Then we put in shirt orders and ordered extra, said we'll take players until we've filled the shirts...today we filled every single shirt ordered! Colonial Beach, your future athletes are raring to go. Games start Saturday the 14th at 9AM!

2nd group of athletes hit the fields tonight! JV Cheer had it going loud and proud learning the old school CBYAA chant "Let's Go Drifters"! Varsity flag went through some basic foundations. When you hear CBYAA talk about how PROUD we are of our athletes, we mean it!

More from last night's first practice. JV Flag, one Varsity team, and the Varsity Cheer athletes showed up strong. The weather was perfect for Fall football and the energy was AMAZING! Let's go Drifters!

It was so nice seeing the next generation of athletes on the field! Flag football and cheer were on fire tonight! Thursday brings the rest of the athletes!

CBYAA 2024 schedule! Team assignments have been sent via email and coaches should be reaching out if they haven't already! If you are not seeing emails, check your Spam folders!

Please ensure your athletes are dressed comfortably, with athletic shoes for practice.

Reminder: if you registered online and owe payment, this can be done at practice via cash, check and Zelle. Cost was $50/cheer $70/flag football (cost is per athlete registered).

Schedules are completed and coaches have rosters! Schedules will be posted to FB, and the webpage at cbyaa.com by the end of today. Coaches should be reaching out to you by phone and/ or email. CBYAA will also be emailing team assignments!

HOME | cbyaa.com CBYAA is preparing for the 2024 season! We are still in need of volunteers for coaching, chain crew and general volunteers, as well as the CBYAA Board. Please reach out for more information. 

Wow! Our goal was to sign up at least 100 athletes this season. We knew it would be hard getting the program back up and going from the foundation up but...we did it!

Next up is getting our coaches trained! Invites have been sent via email for this week's training on Thursday at 6:00 PM.

Practice and game schedules will be communicated and posted here and online at www.cbyaa.com

The CBYAA Board is so excited to see the season come to life and get these kids back on the fields! Though we're small, we are mighty!

Volunteers are still needed for Assistant Coaches, general volunteers, and the CBYAA Board. Please email [email protected] for applications. If you already have applications, please return them to get on the schedules.

Get your littles off the couch and burning that energy off! As an athlete mom, I can certify that post practice/game sleep os the GOOD sleep lol!

Why is there no tackle football for 2024?
2024 is the first season CBYAA will have athletics since COVID. The previous association disbanded and required new volunteers to manage the organization; as such, it is a year of foundational skills and rebuilding the program. Our hope is that tackle football will return in the 2025 season.



How long is the season?

The season is anticipated to run from August (practices) through October.



Will there be uniforms and gear?

For 2024, there will not be uniforms issued. Players will receive a Team T-shirt (to keep) and wear their own pants or shorts as well as shoes.



What are the times for practices and games?

Practices and games are anticipated to be one evening per week and Saturday mornings. Schedules will be decided and communicated after sign-ups are completed.



Will there be competitions for cheer?

This is undecided at this time.



Will cheer uniforms be issued?

YES! Uniforms will be issued; parents will be expected to provide bloomers and shoes.
