Click on a question to see the answer:
How long does the season run and when does it end?
The season will begin the first part of April and end in the first part of June. Teams will play two games a week (unless there is a holiday) T-ball will only play one game a week. Rookie through Majors will play two games, one week night and one Saturday. Schedules will be available at the Team Mom meeting in March.
Why are teams required to play team treat money at registration?
Too many team mom's having been paying for players/parents who forget to pay their money. In response to this recurring problem all players must pay at registration so that team mom's do not have undue financial stress put on them.
What are the team treat options?
Snow-cones, popsicle, chips, small drink or hot chocolate. (Saturdays snow-cones may or may not be served if the ice machine is not working properly.)
I don’t know if I can be a team mom because I can’t score-keep.
We will provide training in scorekeeping for any parents that are interested at the team mom meeting.
Will Babe Ruth uniforms have names on the back?
No. Shirts must be taken to an outside source to be embroidered or ironed on because of the fabric content.
My child is capable of playing at a higher level will he be allowed to move up?
Generally yes, but it is up to the a coach to draft your child if they see that are able to compete at that level and if there is room. Players that are supposed to play in a particular age group are given priority over a player who wants to move up. A waiver form must be signed by the parent and the league president to move the player up. Players MAY NOT play in a younger age group or "move down" as per Babe Ruth guidelines/insurance.
Do Tee Ball and Rookies players (Ages 3-6) need to tryout?
NO! They will be assigned to a team, and the coach will contact sometime in April.
My child wants to play with his friends is that okay?
When you sign up your child they must sign up with their friends and if there are more than 4 who want to play together a coach MUST be provided. (This applies only to t-ball and Rookie ages)
When do games start?
The first part of April.
When do practices start?
TBD, sometime after the draft.
When are tryouts?
Tryouts are: Cal Ripken (age 7-12) March 10th and Babe Ruth (age13-18) March 9th. Check main news page.
Who needs to tryout?
Anyone who has never played in Riverton Little League. Anyone who is new to a specific age division (Pee Wee through Babe Ruth).
My player was on a team in the Minors (Majors, Pee Wee, Babe Ruth) last year, and is still in the Minors (Majors, Pee Wee, Babe Ruth) this year. Do they need to tryout?
If your player is RETURNING to an age division they DO NOT tryout.
What is the fundraiser?
TDB
What does the fundraiser cover?
The fundraiser is used to offset the cost of registration fees. The league cannot operate on the registration fees alone. The equipment costs, pitching machines, and field improvements cost far more than fees cover. It is imperative to the success of Riverton Baseball League that all players participate in the fundraiser.
I coached a team last year will I be able to coach the same team again?
Generally the same coach will have the team for two years-based on Board approval.
My player wants to play with his cousin/friend (applies to PeeWee and older) can they play together?
Only if the coaches drafts both players.
