 Welcome to Newtown Babe Ruth Baseball

A Look Ahead to 2012

Registration for the spring season is now open for all age groups. A $35 late fee will be added to registrations received after February 15. Registration for the spring season will close March 1. Anyone attempting to sign up after March 1 will be placed on a wait list with no guarantee of a roster spot. To register, simply click the Register Online link.

Our 2nd Annual Hot Stove Dinner will be on January 26th. Last year’s dinner was a great success in raising money for not only the league, but also the Strike 3 Foundation, which helps fund children's cancer research.

As always, thanks to everyone involved in Newtown Baseball. We had a terrific year and are looking forward to a great 2012 baseball season.

 2012 New England Regional Tournament
by posted 01/10/2012
 

Newtown Wins the Bid

The 2012 New England Regional Tournament is coming to Newtown from July 20th thru July 26th 2012. This truly is an honor and a great opportunity for our town.


 
  • It is our chance to show the Cal Ripken baseball program how great a baseball town Newtown is. It will set the table for future offers to host these high level events.
  • There will be seven other talented teams from all over New England spending dollars in our community.
  • The host team receives an a·utomatic invitation to the tournament and the winner goes on to represent New England at the Cal Ripken International World Series in Aberdeen Maryland.
  • We can build a great guide for all future teams to use.  This guide can show how to be awarded a bid and all the key activities that need to be accomplished to have a successful event.
 
To accomplish all this, we need your help! We need members of the Newtown Baseball family to serve on the following committees:
 
·        Friday night welcome dinner
·        Field Maintenance Coordinators
·        Opening day ceremonies
·        Photographers/ Video cameras
·        Travel coordinators
·        Food concessions
·        Skills competitions
·        Sibling/Family competitions
·        Web site design and upkeep for tournament
·        Fund raisers and food donations
·        Signage
 
If you have a player in 12U travel, or any of our travel programs, or you simply want to help out, please contact Randy Dieckman at

 Bat Rules for 2012 Cal Ripken 12 and Under
posted 10/18/2011
 
Parents and Players,
 
There has been an update regarding which bats will be permitted for use beginning with the 2012 spring baseball season. For all 12 and under age groups (Cal Ripken Baseball), the bat may not exceed 33" in length and the bat barrel may not exceed 2 1/4" in diameter, PLUS:
 
Only 2 1/4" barrel non-wood bats marked BPF 1.15 or less will be allowed. All wood bats that have the dimensions stated above are allowed. (This means that composite barrel bats are still allowed as long as they do not exceed the BPF1.15 rating).
 
If you are considering purchasing a bat, please make sure this BPF rating clearly marked on the bat. Be aware that a bat will not be eligible for use in 2012 if they exceed the 1.15 BPF standard, or are not clearly marked with a BPF rating. Bats with aBPF higher that 1.15, or without a BPF printed (or not legible) on the bat, will not be permitted for use - even if it's an older bat.
 
Bat Performance Factor ("BPF") is the standard for bat safety. BPF is a measure of a non-wood bat's performance relative to wood bats. A BPF of 1.15 means that bat will perform at a rate of 115% to a similar-sized wood bat.

Most non-wood bats manufactured over the past few years have been permanently imprinted with the BPF rating. I did a little research around the fields this past weekend and a lot of the bats that the kids already use have this BPF 1.15 rating on them, but please double check.
 
For more information you can refer to the Conneticut Cal Ripken website for the official guideline. However, please keep in mind that Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken League reserves the right to change these policies at any time.http://ct.baberuthonline.com/engine.asp?area=state&aid=9&content=newsstory&storyid=18502
 
Feel free to email me or your division director with any questions or concerns.
 
Thanks
 
Peter Clifford
Cal Ripken Director
