Mission Statement

The Shawano Youth League (SYL) is a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching and developing community youth in the sports of baseball and softball. The SYL will promote teamwork, good sportsmanship and fair play while striving to provide quality instruction in the fundamentals and strategies of the game. The SYL is committed to providing a positive environment for building character, self-confidence, discipline, courage, leadership and community pride. We hope to foster an enjoyment and love for the game to last a lifetime. Travel teams sponsored by the SYL will encompass the same experiences, progressing in competitiveness as our participants grow their skills. The SYL is a developmental program for the community, aiming to work with young athletes that will eventually attend Shawano High School.
