Arlington Youth Baseball Working Group Update
Over the last few years, Arlington County's Sports Commission and park and recreation staff have been working with the leadership of Arlington Little League and Arlington Babe Ruth to try and develop a proposal to unify their leagues so that there would be just one baseball league for players up to 12 years of age.
Arlington County has put up a web site with updated information on the progress of the working group. Go to: http://www.arlingtonva.us/departments/parksrecreation/scripts/sports/page72513.aspx for further information.
You may also share your thoughts on the proposed merger by clicking here.
Lost and Found
We are renewing our Lost and Found Message Board this year. If you have lost or found an item at a recent game or practice, you can post that news to our message board. Just click on the lost and found graphic or click here to go the Lost and Found posts. You can also click on the "Message Boards" link in the left hand menu of every ABR page to get there.

Membership Required!
We welcome any and all comers to the ABR website, but access to our team pages and rosters is restricted to members only. This is a security measure on our part so parents will feel more secure about having information and pictures of their children posted on the website. Of course, no security measures are foolproof, but we do what we can.
If you are an ABR coach, parent, player or fan, you may fill out our membership registration form that will ask you some general information questions. Please also indicate your child's name, team, and coach. Your membership request will be forwarded to the webmaster. Once the webmaster has your request, you will be approved if you have provided all the appropriate information. If the webmaster needs more info, you can expect an email asking for additional information. Once you respond with the answers, you will be granted membership. You may also email the ABR webmaster at the time you register with this information (along with the username you choose when you applied for membership) and your application will be approved a little more quickly.
Thank you for visiting the ABR website. We hope you enjoy your stay and appreciate your forbearance with our membership rules.
