YOUTH LEAGUES -- Natick Little League has opened registration for its summer baseball and softball programs, according to the league's website, which notes that all programs are open to Natick residents only. The league runs a financial aid program intended to give all Natick students equal opportunity to play and has also launched an equipment exchange program for families looking to find or pass along gently used gear. The league's board typically meets the third Monday of each month at 7 p.m.

Natick Youth Basketball recapped its winter season, reporting that its Boys 8C travel team finished 6-5 in league play, then won three straight playoff games to reach the Division 6 championship, where it lost a close final to Swansea. The organization's Boys 8B team competed in Division 3 against larger "A" programs from surrounding towns. Looking ahead, NYB said travel basketball tryouts for grades 4-8 will be held over two weekends, Sept. 25-27 and Oct. 2-4, with registration for all NYB programs opening in mid-August.
