***UPDATE****  COMPOSITE BATS RULE:

The Babe Ruth International Board of Directors has LIFTED the moratorium on banning the use of composite bats for 2011 season.  Please note that there are no new rules in place for the use of these bats.

The moratorium for the 13-15 division still exists.  For more information please visit the state Babe Ruth website at:  www.vababeruth.com 

 Thank you. 

WE HAVE 4 NEW BATTING CAGES IN 2011 !!!  

Last year our major fundraising effort was the Chick-Fil-A "Cow Drop" Raffle. During that effort the league raised more than $10,000. That money went towards the construction of 4 brand new batting cages at Rockville School Park.

Thanks to the efforts of our Field Maintenance Guru -- Allen Keller (curbappealllc@msn.com) and many hours from far too many volunteers to list -- the old batting cages were removed and the new cages were put in their place.

The new cages feature a concrete floor, astro-turf carpeting, high-end astro-turf hitting mats with painted home plate and batter's boxes, all new netting, new poles and new wiring. Three of the cages are located behind left field of Field #1. The fourth cage is located between the softball field and the machine pitch field.

In addition, to the new batting cages, three new pitching mounds and home plates are being installed near the three new batting cages behind Field #1.

If you have any time, equipment or expertise to volunteer towards this or any other project -- please do not hesitate to contact:
