Babe Ruth Fall Ball?

[Guest gladiator2]

Does anyone have any information on Babe Ruth Fall Ball? When does it start and how will the age classifications be broke down and who is the main contact of the league?

Start at halloween and count 6 weeks back and thats when it starts every year. So registration should start 2-3 weeks before then.

Thanks, is it normally a pretty competitive league?

No, its your typical city fall ball league. The boys usually play 2 games every Saturday. The games are fun to watch.

Serious, 2 Saturday games! That's out of the question because then there will not be any room for any select tournaments. We were looking for games during the week.

Alot of the kids play football, so weekday games are out of the question.

We play football, too. Football practice is over by 5pm everyday and games are on Tuesday's.

The fallball program at NBR is geared toward teaching kids transitioning from Little League to Babe Ruth the new rule changes they will see in Babe Ruth in the spring.  It is a very non-competitive laid back learning environment.  The cost to play is minimal and the player usually receives a t-shirt jersey and a NBR ball cap.  Because the cost is so low, the league operates during fallball on a minimal budget...sometimes volunteer umpires and no lights to reduce operating expenses.  For this reason they only play on Saturdays and only during daylight hours so they don't have to turn on lights.  I would recommend any player that just finished Little League and who might be thinking about playing Babe Ruth in the spring to look for registration dates for NBR fall ball.  The kids have a great time and the parents enjoy the laid back environment as well.  This is how youth baseball should be...FUN and educational.
