We want to make sure all baseball parents are aware of the new bat standards. 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. The only bats that contain this new logo are 2018 & 2019 model year bats, so if you have a bat from any other year, it is no longer eligible.

Again, only new 2018 & 2019 bats with the USA Bat logo are legal 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 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 TBD @ 8:15pm (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.
