Decatur American Baseball

Last night we closed out an amazing Spring 2026 Season with our Family Fun Night! ⚾️🏅🏆

It was a great night at the fields celebrating our players and our youth baseball community.

The Hustle and Heart Award is a Coach-nominated award for players that exhibit exemplary sportsmanship as well as dedication to the game and their team. Shout out to our 2026 Hustle and Heart Club as well as our 2026 Over the Fence Club!

We want to give a special thanks to several entities that are critical to not only our operations, but our mission and vision as well.

Thank you to Decatur Parks & Recreation for their professional groundskeeping and site maintenance, and to the concessions staff there night after night this season!

Thank you to Kona Ice of Madison/Decatur/Athens for being a trusted vendor that is always excited to show up and put a (multicolored) smile on our kids faces!

Thank you to D2 Sports & Outdoors for being the central hub for all things sports related, and for being a prime example of what a collaborative small business partnership is capable of achieving. We are thankful for your assistance with sourcing everything ranging from gear to jerseys, and so many things in between. Shout out to D2 for sponsoring our Home Run Derby prizes!

Thank you to the countless volunteers that helped last night run smoothly - and especially Birdie Building Co who sourced the last minute generator to help keep the inflatables up and bouncing! 😆

Last, but certainly not least, thank you to each and every family that participated this Spring season. Without you none of this would be possible, and we are thankful for the community that each of you have had a hand in building.

Be on the lookout soon for information related to Fall registration so that we can start the fun all over again!

Join us on Friday night for Decatur American Baseball’s Family Fun Night, featuring our season closing ceremony where we will crown our top teams and recognize some players who showed great sportsmanship all season long.

We will be celebrating a wonderful spring season with lots of fun. Dinner will be provided free of charge.

We will have inflatables for kids, young and old, a dunk tank where some of our coaches and board members might take a dip, and a coach whiffle ball game to see if they have the skills they’ve coached all season long!

Our 8U, 10U, and 12U players will have the opportunity to participate in our first Home Run Derby - presented by D2 Sports & Outdoors. This will begin at 6:00 on field 4, and winners will receive gift cards to D2. There will also be a fastest pitch competition, complete with a leaderboard in the batting cages between fields 3 and 4 using our Smart Coach Pocket Radar.

Teams will line up on field 1 at 5:30PM sharp in their jerseys and hats!
