Mission Statement

Our organization will make every effort to make sure that every child
with the desire to participate gets the opportunity, without regard to prior
experience, athletic ability or size. We are committed to
instilling Honesty, Loyalty, Integrity, Teamwork, Discipline, Sportsmanship,
Respect, Leadership, Trust and Commitment in our young participants. We
believe these values and virtues are important to their growth

the reality of defeat, the importance of commitment and the spirit of
community. These goals will be achieved through organizing our dedicated
volunteers, caring parents, business associates, and city who wish to partner
with our great youth sport program.

⚾🥎 BIG NEWS FOR GRAND SALINE YOUTH BASEBALL & SOFTBALL! ⚾🥎

The Grand Saline Youth Foundation is officially announcing some exciting changes to our baseball and softball programs for the upcoming season!

After much consideration, the GSYF Board has made the decision to leave the Van Zandt County Baseball/Softball Association and, at the same time, end our affiliation with the Texas Teenage Baseball/Softball Association (TTAB/S).

Youth sports have continued to evolve over the years, and we believe it’s important that our programs evolve with them. Unfortunately, we feel that TTAB/S has not kept pace with those changes, particularly when it comes to rules that allow our teams and players to remain competitive.

With that in mind, GSYF will be joining the East Texas Baseball/Softball Association (ETBSA), which consists largely of teams from the former Rains/Wood County League. ETBSA met over the summer and officially approved our request to join, and we’re excited about the opportunities this new partnership will bring to our kids!

But that’s not all!

GSYF has also made the decision to dual register with Dixie Youth Baseball/Softball!

This affiliation will create additional opportunities for our Grand Saline players to continue competing beyond the regular ETBSA season. Through Dixie, our teams will have the opportunity to participate in postseason tournaments at the local, regional, state, and even national levels!

We recognize that changes like these will come with some growing pains. There will be questions, adjustments, and probably a few challenges along the way. We are committed to working through those together and doing everything we can to make this transition as smooth and successful as possible for our players, coaches, and families.

At the end of the day, our mission hasn’t changed. We want to give the youth of Grand Saline the very best opportunities to learn, develop, compete, and experience everything that youth sports have to offer. Every decision we make should move us closer to that goal.

We’re excited about this next chapter for GSYF baseball and softball and look forward to a great 2027 season!

The future is bright for Grand Saline youth sports! ⚾🥎

A HUGE thank you to the Grand Saline Volleyball program for volunteering their time to help us host youth volleyball games yesterday🏐🧡🖤

We truly cannot thank these girls enough for showing up, giving their time, and helping make today run so smoothly. We received so many compliments on how well everything went, and that is a direct reflection of the great volunteers who stepped up to help.

A special thank you to Head Coach Brandi Nicole Cook for facilitating their participation and encouraging her players to give back to our youth program. We are incredibly grateful for her support and for the example she is helping set for these young athletes.

To our GS Junior Volleyball coaches, thank you for every hour you have volunteered throughout this season. From practices and games to teaching fundamentals, building confidence, and developing these young players, your time and dedication do not go unnoticed.

We are so thankful for every person who has volunteered, coached, encouraged, or helped behind the scenes this season. It truly takes a community to make youth sports possible, and we are blessed to have one that continues to show up for our kids.
🧡🏐🖤

Thank you all for making our host day such a smooth and successful day!
