Ramsey Baseball and Softball Association

Due to the success of the RHS boys basketball team and their need for the high school gym until 1:15 p.m. to prepare for the State tournament, we have been compelled to push back the timing of the Majors evaluations on March 3.  The times are now;

1:30 p.m. - Last names A-H

3:00 p.m. - Last names I-P

4:30 p.m. - Last names Q-Z

Please note that our RBSA negotiated rates are $25 for 30 minutes & $45 for 60 minutes through May '19.

Please see the following flyer for additional reservation information. 

Please note the following RBSA Modell's 2019 15% savings coupon.

It is effective from Friday, 2/22/19 through Saturday, 4/20/19 (total of 8 weeks)! 

Registration is now open for the 2019 BOYS SPRING TRAVEL season.  We have added an 8U division this year, in addition to levels for 9U - 14U.  Register ASAP so that we may organize teams as quickly as possible.

Please remember the 12U Cooperstown players do NOT have to register for Spring Travel.

Registration for the 2019 Spring recreation season is now open.  This year we have expanded to include Clinic Rookies level for League Age 5 boys and girls.  Click the link below to register.

Ramsey High School Softball graciously provided the RBSA with a winter clinic for our players in grades 3 thru 6 on February 6th. We had over 40 girls in attendance!

Our 7th & 8th graders will now get to become "Rams for a Day" while working out with the high school softball team during the week of 2/11.

Many special thanks to Coach Caserta and his coaching team for always doing so much to keep our rec program strong!

We want to make sure all baseball parents are aware of the new bat standards this year. Most of the major Youth baseball leagues in the US including Little League and Babe Ruth have adopted a unified Bat standard called the USA Bat Standard. The RBSA is following that standard for our leagues from Tiny Tim 8 through Babe Ruth. All bats that do not have the USA BAT Logo will not be allowed this year. The only bats that contain this new logo are 2018 model year bats, so if you have a bat from last year, it is no longer eligible. We have posted information about the new bat standard on our website.

Again, only new 2018 bats with the USA Bat logo are legal this year in TT8 through Babe Ruth. Teeball and Clinic can use bats from previous years. Additionally, for all Babe Ruth participants, please note that BBCOR .5 bats are legal this year in Babe Ruth only. Also note that single piece Wood Bats are Legal across all leagues. Rules on Softball bats have not changed from past years. Please contact me (Shawn Kirk @ skirk@extelldev.com) with any questions regarding this new bat standard and how it applies to your child.

The next RBSA Board meeting date is on Thursday, January 10th, 2019 @ 8:00pm (Finch Park-Senior Center)...any/all new volunteers are always welcomed to join us!

The RBSA would like to sincerely THANK all of our sponsors for their dedicated and generous support (please see current list under our Sponsors tab (on left))!  

It is with great sadness that the RBSA relays the passing of Lou Dovidio after a long, brave fight against cancer. Lou's son Brian played all the way from Clinic through Babe Ruth. He, Lou and Lou's wife Carole were (and are) both integral and beloved members of the RBSA family.

To learn more about Lou and his family, please visit; https://www.facebook.com/Lou-Dovidio-Memorial-Page-739824569488091/

To donate directly to The Brian Dovidio Scholarship Fund, please click the secure link found on their Facebook page-any donation(s) would be greatly appreciated by the Dovidio family.

Please closely review the following document for important information regarding the new birthdate cut off changes. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the age determination, please contact Shawn Kirk at skirk@extelldev.com or Matt Miller at MGMiller17@verizon.net.  If your child is born within the May 1st - August 31st window and wish to change leagues from your registration choice, please contact Matt Miller either via e-mail or at 201-264-0531.
