Evaluations and Field Improvement Day

The CBRL Board has finalized some important dates for the Spring 2023 season.

1. Field Improvement Day will be held on Saturday, March 4th from 9AM to 12PM. Helping on Field Improvement Day is an excellent way to satisfy your supplemental volunteer requirements for the season. Additionally, you can feel good about working with your hands and meeting friendly people at the same time. We hope you'll join us. Inclement weather make-up day will be Sunday, March 5th.
   
2. Player evaluations for the 13-15 division will be held in two groups on March 11th. Timing on the two sessions is as follows:
   Group 1: 12pm to 2pm
   Group 2: 2:30pm to 4:30pm
   
   We have changed how we form the groups for evaluations and request that you sign up for a time that works for your family. If you have issues with the dates and times, please contact us so we can discuss alternatives. Evaluations are necessary so that coaches, especially coaches who are new to our league, can see player skill levels and help to build balanced teams in pursuit of a league where all teams have a fair chance to compete.

More information about all events will be communicated closer to their dates.

2023Spring Registration is OPEN!

The Charlottesville Babe Ruth League offers boys and girls the opportunity to have fun learning the game of baseball from dedicated coaches and volunteers. The League accepts registrations from boys and girls who will be twelve (12) years old before May 1, 2023, and who will not be seventeen (17) years old before May 1, 2023, for the 13-15-Year-Old Division and boys and girls who will be sixteen (16) years old before May 1, 2023, and who will not be nineteen (19) years old before May 1, 2023, for the 16-18-Year-Old Division. Email the league if interested in playing in the 16-18 Division but won’t be 16 before May 1, 2023.

Babe Ruth League, Inc. allows for players who are 12 years old to participate in Babe Ruth League play as a "swing" player. Players who are aging out of Little League who are "league age" 13 by Little League Rules, but who are "league age" 12 by Babe Ruth rules are eligible to play in the Charlottesville Babe Ruth League and should register and play with us in our 13-15 division. Please contact the league with any questions.

For those players who are planning to play Middle or High School JV and Varsity baseball, our spring schedule will accommodate you. Many Middle and High School JV programs end in early May, and Varsity ends at the end of May, and our 13-15 season continues through the first week in June (5-11) and through July for the older division. From there, we'll have summer All-Stars so players wishing to have a longer baseball experience should plan to play with us in addition to school teams. Our rules are designed so that player positions will not interfere with school teams. Please contact us if you want further clarification.

There is limited space available in our 13-15-Year-Old and 16-18-Year-Old Divisions, so register early! If the divisions don't fill up sooner, the registration deadline is March 10th for the 13-15-Year-Old Division and May 19th for the 16-18-Year-Old Division.
