Little League is so much more than just learning how to catch a pop fly or swing a bat. For a young player, it’s where lifelong friendships are forged, confidence is built, and crucial life lessons—like handling a tough loss, working as a team, and respecting opponents—are learned in the field and in the dugout. It creates a foundational community that shapes who a kid becomes both on and off the field.

But the love for the game doesn't have to end when a player hits that milestone league age 12. 

Transitioning into the Babe Ruth League offers the perfect next step. Designed specifically for players aging out of Little League, Babe Ruth baseball moves kids up to standard, full-sized fields and introduces advanced strategies. It keeps the competitive spirit alive while ensuring that the camaraderie, growth, and pure joy of playing baseball continue right into their teenage years. It’s not just a new league; it’s the next chapter in a player's baseball journey.

For Parents and Players interested in Registration:

1. Consent Form. Families must complete the Babe Ruth Consent Form for players to be eligible to play. 

2. Volunteer Coaches are crucial. Like Little League, this is a volunteer run program and without your support, we can't provide opportunities for our players to play. A background check is required each season. If you are interested in volunteering for Babe Ruth, please email Brian Terhune at [email protected] and you will receive an access code to waive the $25 fee for the check.

3. Uniforms are Required. Please indicate the jersey size and up to three (3) player number choices. Players will also receive a fitted hat and therefore, must include hat size of s/m or m/l.  A home jersey is required for Babe Ruth players. Baseball pants are available for purchase at cost through the league's vendor, but are not required. 

4. Payment Plans are Available. Like Little League, we'll work with families who need financial support. Please reach out.
