Richmond Area Little League

Baseball and Softball 2015 Information

Who: Kindergarten through 6th grade boys and girls. 7th grade boys are eligible if they will turn 13
after April 30th, 2015. 7th grade girls are eligible if they turn 13 any time in 2015. The Richmond Area
Little League includes the towns of Richmond, Huntington, and Bolton. This year, once again, we welcome
girls from Jericho and Underhill to join our softball program as well.

How to register: The BEST way to register is online. This saves us a lot of extra work and allows you to
pay by credit card. Go to our website: http://richmondarealittleleague.com and click on the Register
Now button. Alternatively, you can fill out the paper form, available in your school office or on the
website, and mail it along with a check to: Richmond Area Little League, P.O. Box 19, Richmond, VT
05477.

Cost: $50, if you register by March 28, 2015. If you register after that, please add the late fee of
$35.
NO REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER APRIL 10th!

Location: Teams play games and practice at Volunteers Green and Browns Court fields in Richmond. All
Softball teams as well as AAA and Majors Baseball teams also play out-of-town games.

Equipment: All players need to bring their own baseball or softball glove. For AAA and Majors baseball
and Minors and Majors softball, cleats and baseball/softball pants are highly recommended. Uniform
shirts and hats are included in the price of registration. The league provides bats and batting helmets,
but recommends players have their own helmets if possible. If you need financial assistance or help
finding the right equipment for your child, please contact us.

Team Placement: New this year, all girls will play softball. Please see the chart below for the softball
divisions based on grade level. Boys are placed into divisions based on grade level and ability. Boys in
grades 1-4 must attend the Mandatory Placement Day on Saturday March 28th from 9:30 - 11am
at Camels Hump Middle School. This allows us to place them with kids of similar abilities and make
sure the teams are fair. Please see the chart on the next page for divisions and practice schedules.

Post-Season: Girls and Boys ages 9-12 have the opportunity to compete on a Richmond All-Star team in
the Vermont District 1 Little League Tournament. Teams are selected based on ability level and
performance in regular season games. A commitment is required to participate. Tournament games are
generally played between the end of school and mid-July. Coaches will distribute forms to eligible
players at the end of May, and teams will be announced at the close of the regular season, in mid-June.

VOLUNTEER!: RALL is run entirely by volunteers and we need your help to have a successful season!
Please check off how youd like to help when you register, and we will contact you with more information.

or Michelle Rosen, Softball Coordinator, mrosen70@hotmail.com or 434-6050
