Through the efforts of many devoted volunteers, HTRBA provides a safe and friendly place for children and their families to spend time and enjoy the Little League baseball experience.  Through our Code of Conduct adopted by all teams, we expect that all who come to Van Horn Park will honor the game and respect all players, coaches, umpires, and volunteers so that HTRBA continues to be a great place for Little League baseball. We invite you to come out and enjoy the games and atmosphere at Van Horn Park. Join our family today!!!

The picnic on Saturday is scheduled to take place rain or shine!  However, due to the possibility of severe weather, we are in the process of trying to arrange for a rain date or moving the time up to get done before the rain sets in.  Please check the website throughout the week for updates.

The weather finally cooperated and we had a great day for the First Annual HTRBA Golf Outing.  The course at Mountain View was in great condition, the food was outstanding, and the beverages were refreshing.  Everyone who participated enjoyed the day... both experienced golfers and first-timers alike. 

Congratulations to Gary Houghton and his group for being the first to have their names inscribed on the HTRBA Cup by finishing the day with the lowest score.

Special thanks to the Golf Committee for planning the event.  The preparation was detailed and the execution was flawless.  The Golf Committee members are:  Michele Murphy, Ray Murphy, Andy Sabados, Teri Stickles, Craig Coffey, Dave Kozemchak, and Tony Rossetti.  Congratulations on a job well done!

Plans are already underway for out 2nd Annual Golf Outing.  Everyone is highly encouraged to particpate in next year's event.  Please remember that you do NOT have to be a "golfer" to enjoy the day.  More details will follow.

Congratulations to each of the HTRBA All Star teams for the outstanding sportsmanship that was displayed while particpating in tournaments at other Little Leagues.
