Why Babe Ruth / Cal Ripken?- More Focus is placed on the local league season. Participation allows a
child to grow and excel at their own pace and ability while learning
individual skills, sportsmanship and teamwork.
- We aim to recapture the good old-fashioned values and traditions of the
past – promoting excellence in academics, athletics and the arts;
nurturing character development; fostering an understanding and an
appreciation for others; offering a wholesome outlet for children to
engage in group activities; guiding children to take responsibility for
their actions; and fostering a sense for family and community.
- Honesty, Respect, Caring and Commitment are stressed to our children.
- Believing that childhood is a crucial time of our life that molds the
kind of adult we will become is what sets BRL head and shoulders above
the rest.
- Using youth baseball and softball as an avenue to teach how to play well
the game of life is detailed utmost in our policies.
- We promote youth baseball and softball as venues to foster fair play and
honest competition instead of a win-at-all-costs attitude.
- Last, but certainly not least, WE PLAY BY THE RULES and strongly
emphasize respect for the rules by ALL participants.
Our Motto is: “Where the PLAYER comes first!”
