With temperatures in single digits this morning it is hard to be thinking Little League Baseball right now, but before we know it the weather will turn and kids will be wanting to play ball at the Quincy Family YMCA.  To get ready for the upcoming season the YMCA is currently holding baseball registration for children ages 3 through 15.

Batter up! The Quincy Family YMCA is once again bringing baseball for the summer and registration is going on now.
