Team Formations

Hello BHBA Families,

This year marks an exciting and historic moment for our community baseball programs. The Buffalo Baseball Association and Hanover Youth Ball have officially come together to form one unified organization: Buffalo Hanover Baseball Association (BHBA).

The goal of this merger is simple. To bring our two programs together as one Bison Baseball family, creating the best possible experience for as many players as possible. We are thrilled to share that 200 players have registered for our inaugural season, a tremendous start for the new association!

As with any new organization, the first year brings the most change. While there may be some adjustments along the way, we truly believe this merger will benefit our players, families, and the future of Bison Baseball.

One of the most important topics during the merger discussions was how teams would be formed in year one. It was agreed that an equal group of former BBA and HYB representatives would work together to oversee the process, with the primary driver being the player evaluations held on President’s Day. Those evaluations have now been compiled and reviewed.

We are excited to announce that the 2026 rosters for the first season of Buffalo Hanover Baseball are now ready. Our 200 players have been placed across 17 teams, and we carefully reviewed each roster to place teams in league options that will give them the best opportunity to compete and grow.

We understand that team placement can sometimes bring a range of emotions for players and families. Participation in sports often includes moments like these, and they can provide valuable life lessons in perseverance, teamwork, and growth. Please note that roster decisions are final, but if you have questions, you may email buffalohanoverbaseball@gmail.com.

Our next important step is confirming a Head Coach for each team. If your team does not currently have a Head Coach listed, that means we are actively seeking candidates. If you are interested in volunteering for this role, please complete the coaching application below:

If you have any questions about coaching opportunities, please contact buffalohanoverbaseball@gmail.com. Please note that teams cannot move forward without a confirmed Head Coach.

Looking ahead, we are planning for our first team practices on Sunday, March 15 at the BAC, with practice times to be announced soon. Prior to that, we will also schedule small group parent meetings so families can connect and learn more about the season ahead.

Thank you for being part of this exciting first chapter of Buffalo Hanover Baseball. We look forward to a great season together.

Go Bison!
