RBVLL Frequently Asked questions
Responses refer to our Spring Season - Winterball follows different policies
Q. What division will my child play in?
A. RBVLL divides its lower divisions by age. Generally, 4-6 year olds play t-ball, 6-8 year olds play Single “A”, and 7-9 year olds play “AA”. See the age chart on our registration page to check your child's eligibility. When the player is league age 9, they are eligible to tryout and may be drafted onto a AAA team. When the player is league age 10, they are eligible to tryout and may be drafted onto on a AAA or Majors team. If you have any questions about divisions, contact the player agent Grant Jobe at grant@rbvll.org

Lost? Found? What to do?
If you've lost something, or found something, your first stop needs to be the SNACK BAR!
We keep a box in the back where we keep all the goodies that have lost their owners. Find the board member on duty and we'll take you back there to sort through the box. Anything valuable (watches, wallets, cell phones, etc.) are locked up in our secure area. We've found everything from camera batteries to a world class collection of batting gloves.
