Be Good Neighbors!
Please be respectful of our neighbors by (a) adhering to the 25 mph speed limit on Moddison Avenue; (b) being careful not to park in front of a neighbor's driveway; and (c) placing all trash in the trash bins. The vast majority of our neighbors are very supportive of the league and we want to continue to be good neighbors toward them

Baseball Families
At the end of your team's game at Caleb or at Ciavarella, please help the coaches of your team pick up the trash in the dugout, in and under the stands, and in the parking lot and make sure it gets to a dumpster. With the number of parents and players associated with each team, it will not take long to clean up after each game.
Also please remember that, when you are working in the snack shack (especially on the weekends), it is not the best place for children under the age of 12 given the workload. To serve everyone one efficiently, particularly on Saturdays and Sundays, we will need to staff the snack shack with adults and older kids who have snack shack experience. There simply is not room for others.

Pitching Rules
Taking into account the growing number of youth baseball arm injuries related to pitching the league has constructed new pitching rules. This applies to the Major and Minor divisions. You can click here to review them or go the Majors and Minors web page.

Composite Bat Rules
The International Board of Directors of Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken League Inc. have lifted the moratorium on composite bats. Click here for a listing of licensed baseball bats approved for use in our league. Click here for more information

If the weather cooperates this will be the last day of tryouts so be sure to show-up and check-in. Each player should come ready and prepared with baseball glove and bats. Cleats are encouraged, but optional.

NOTE: If you have NOT registered your son or daughter yet or registered them late, or are looking to turn in applications on the day of try-outs, please be advised that you will be placed on a waiting list; and we make NO GUARANTEE that he/she will be able to play in the league for the 2012 season.

RPYB Annual Gear Swap
It's time again to gather up all that baseball gear your kids have outgrown and donate it to the RPYB Gear Swap! Here's how it works: you get all the too-small baseball stuff out of your closets, it gets recycled and used by younger players. You can also get gently-used gear in your player's current size--for free, yes that's right, for FREE. Click here for more information.

Work Days.
The league has tentatively scheduled workdays for February 11th and 12th; with another to follow the week prior to opening day. Please watch for future emails and updates on our league website for additional information on these dates.
