Babe Ruth, Ages 13 – 15

Any player born prior to May 1, 2009, and on or after May 1, 2000, will be eligible for Cal Ripken (ages 12 & under) Baseball League competition for the 2013 season. Any player born prior to May 1, 2000, and on or after May 1, 1997, will be eligible for Babe Ruth 13 – 15 League competition for the 2013 season.

The first two weeks will be used to evaluate players in a variety of categories. This assists us in forming league teams. There will not be any tryouts for Babe Ruth All-Star Teams, as the participants are constantly being evaluated from May 13 until the All-Star Teams are selected. The criteria used to select these teams include: attitude, attendance, sportsmanship, versatility, coachability and skill/ability. Our emphasis will be on the development and maintenance of our league teams. Our extra baseball program will come after the league is established.
