Mission Statement
The Geneva Baseball Association (GBA) is a non-profit, community-based organization whose mission is to foster the development of youth athletes through teamwork, sportsmanship, and healthy competition.
Pillars of the Mission Statement
Community Based Program
Our focus is on the Geneva community and the players that reside within the geographic boundaries of the City of Geneva, Geneva School District 304, and the Geneva Park District. GBA encourages our teams to become involved with our community through charitable events and activities.
Development of Youth Athletes
Our primary objective is the physical, mental and emotional growth and development of the youth athletes, both on and off of the baseball field. The program is inclusive and supportive, where all players understand their value to the team.
Sportsmanship
At all times, we promote supportive and positive behavior towards teammates; safety during practices and games; respectful behavior towards all players, coaches, umpires, and spectators; constant self-improvement and humility; and a willingness to learn through both wins and losses.
Healthy Competition
We recognize each player may seek a different level of competition. GBA offers In-House, In-House Tournament Team, and Travel baseball. These program options ensure opportunity, and that all players, regardless of skill set or ability, can participate and compete.
The GBA in-house teams participate in the Fox Valley Baseball League (FVBL) which is a partnership formed between the baseball associations of our Tri-City neighboring communities of St. Charles and Batavia. The FVBL allows GBA players to compete against teams from these other communities under a uniform set of rules and regulations administered by the Commissioner of the FVBL.
