2018 Colt Baseball and 16U Softball Registration is Now Open

Attention RBY Families!  Registration for both Colt Baseball and 16U Softball is now open.  Both divisions are $50 per player.  The age ranges are as follows:

Colt Baseball-Players Born between 9/1/2000 and 8/31/2003.

16U Softball-Players born between 1/1/2002 and 12/31/2003.

Both divisions will play a 10 game season, with 3 games per week.   The season will be roughly 3 weeks long.  

This is a great opportunity for high school aged players who weren't able to play in Pony or 14U softball this year to get a few games in before the summer starts.  

Both divisions will start after Memorial Day.

If you have any questions, please contact Don Tornberg at dontornbergrby@yahoo.com.

Thank You,

RBY

**Attention RBY Families**

On Saturday, April 28th, the City of Redlands will be working with volunteers to help plant plants along both Church St. and San Bernardino Ave.  They will be working all morning and into the early afternoon.  Parking will most likely not be available along those streets.  Please plan on arriving a few minutes earlier as you will most likely need to park a little farther.  Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.  

Spring 2018 Registration is officially closed.  If you did not make in this season, our Fall Season will begin registration mid-summer.  E-mails will go out when it opens.

Thank You,

RBY

Background checks are up and running now.  Thank you for your patience.  Background checks are $10.00.  All managers and coaches must be background checked.  Managers will not be assigned their players until the background check is done.  Team parents and anyone helping out at practice needs to complete a background check as well.  

2018 Spring Season Age Key

Below you will find a document with all of the divisions broken down by player birth dates.   While registration will automatically place your child in the correct division based on their birth date, there were changes to the PONY age ranges for this upcoming Spring Season.   This chart reflects those changes.

**Attention RBY Families**

Please read the following information regarding the new bat standards for 2018:

In conjunction with USA Baseball and its other participating national member organizations, PONY Baseball has adopted the new USA Baseball bat standard (USABat). Effective January 1, 2018, with the exception of -3 (BBCOR certified), all other 2 1/4" and 2 5/8" barrel bats with a minus factor of (-5, -7, -9, etc.), must be USABat certified with the USABat licensing stamp on the bat in order to be used for league and tournament play. All 2 1/4" and 2 5/8" minus factor bats -5, -7, -9, etc. used in 2017 will be illegal to use in 2018.

Tee ball bats are not required to undergo lab testing to receive approval under the USABat program. However, to be approved for play, tee ball bats must carry the USA Baseball mark accompanied by the following text: "Only For Use With Approved Tee Ball Bats." If you already have a tee ball bat you would like to continue using, all you have to do is purchase a USA Bat sticker directly from USA Baseball and place it on your bat. You can purchase a USA Bat sticker, click here. Tee ball bats manufactured after the new rule was adopted will already include the USABat Baseball mark. 

The new USABat certified bats bearing the USABat licensing mark are expected to be offered in retail stores September 1, 2017.

To find out more about the USABat standard click here.
