Social Media

Rochester Youth Baseball Association is using social media to help all who are interested in following our organization, our teams and our participants.  We encourage you to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and through our blog. We also want to hear from you if you have suggestions for other social media we could use to keep you connected with RYBA. 

Twitter
Our username is @rybamn.  If you are a Twitter user, you could just search for us in the search bar at the top of the page.  Follow us!

We will be implementing a new use of Twitter this season to allow you and any of your family or friends to follow your son’s team!  Each team that is part of RYBA this season, whether a team from the house league or a travel team, will be assigned a team hashtag to use when posting a tweet on Twitter so that anyone who follows the hashtag can also follow the latest updates about your team.  Coaches will be assigned a team hashtag along with their team player assignments this spring.  If your coach uses Twitter, he or she will send you the appropriate Twitter hashtag.  The commissioner for each grade will also have a list of hashtags associated with each team if your son’s coach does not use Twitter. 

RYBA coaches who do not use Twitter will be encouraged to seek out a team parent who can be responsible for posting tweets for the benefit of the players, parents, family and friends. 

You can contact Aaron Rindflesch, RYBA’s co-director of social media, if you have questions about our Twitter account or if you want to follow any team-associated hashtag.  Our organization’s hashtag is #rybamn.
