"With record enrollment this season, we're looking forward to building on that momentum and creating an unforgettable Opening Day experience."
The Opening Ceremony at Harry Ball Field will include team recognition from T-Ball through Majors, special acknowledgements, and ceremonial moments to officially kick off the 2026 season.
The event will be broadcast on BEVCAM.
Community members, families, and local supporters are encouraged to attend, celebrate, and help send off Beverly's young athletes into another exciting season of teamwork, sportsmanship, and fun.
