Novato Babe Ruth 2012 Spring Registration Nears Closing

Just a few openings left. At this time only mail-in registrations are being accepted for the 2012 Spring Season. Registration forms can be obtained  at  novatobaberuth.org. We are near  the registration count that meets full roster requirements, registrants after that point whether returning players or new players must be placed on a wait list. Postmark will be used to determine priority on the wait list, so go to the website now to get the forms, and mail them in!  

Tryouts are this Saturday March 10 at Sinaloa Middle School. Please arrive in baseball gear (no basketball shorts, please!) and cleats by 9:30 AM to check in and warm up. Bring tennis shoes in case we must move try outs to blacktop due to wet fields.

Novato Babe Ruth is open to players throughout Marin County born between  May 1, 1996 - April 30, 1999 . Players graduating from Little League or SABA Majors can begin playing on regulation size fields, and compete with players who will be their future MCAL High School teammates and opponents. Fields are well maintained, and the league does not use "portable mounds". The League uses professional umpires, and all coaches are ASEP certified. The League strives to develop players of all skill levels in a fun environment while providing an exciting competitive game experience that will prepare them for their next level of baseball.  Registration fee has been held at $225 for Spring 2012.

Tryouts for players who did not play in Novato Babe Ruth's Spring 2011 Season will be Saturday March 10. Practices and a "Spring Training" program will begin the week of March 12, with the Regular Season beginning May 13 (when High School Freshman season ends). High School Freshman will not miss any regular season games. The only restriction is that players may not play on a "Travel Team" during the Babe Ruth Season, including the post season Playoffs. League play concludes with Championship Playoffs June 29.  Call 258-4814 for questions.

The League is actively seeking Managers and Coaches for the Spring 2012 Season. Call 258-4814 if you are interested.
