It was a long summer last year for everyone, however the Evansdale Youth Softball Association (EYSA) was able to pull off a successful season. Now they're busy getting ready for another exciting year of offering slow-pitch softball and T-ball for area youth. 

These recreational leagues are open to all children in the Cedar Valley area and surrounding communities. Parents, it's hard to find fun, inexpensive things to keep keep your kids active in a safe outside environment. It's also a great place to develop and work on your child's skills, all while having fun on a team.
