What’s the format?

Age Groups
There are four divisions of The League in the fall: 11u, 12u, 13u, and 14u.

Tuesday Evenings – League Games
Beginning on August 23rd, all regular season games will be played on Tuesday evenings. Game slots begin between 5pm and 7:15pm (earlier time slots may be needed due to loss of daylight in the later part of the fall).

Thursday Evenings – Practice
Each Thursday during the season, we’ll keep the Academy open so your team can practice – use our training circle, batting cages, and pitching mounds. Practices end promptly at 7pm.

Regular Season & Playoffs
Every team will play six (6) regular season games and then two (2) additional playoff games, for a total of eight (8) games for each team.

Have an individual player looking for a team in the fall?

The League at the Ripken Academy is now offering a new service for individual players looking to play fall baseball this year. The Free Agency Player Pool gives individuals the opportunity to be placed on teams in search of players.

This is a free service provided by us, and you can sign up for the Free Agency Player Pool by clicking the link below or by calling 888.RIPKEN.1.

Depending on the level of interest in the Free Agency Player Pool in any of our age groups, we may form a dedicated team to cater to these individual players. Details regarding the placement or team formation will be made available by August 15th, 2011.

*Please note that there is no guarantee that free agents will be placed on a team, rather we will do our best to help facilitate this opportunity.
