MISSION TRUSTEE SPONSORSHIP REGISTRATION COACHES FIELDS CALENDAR
Quick Links: Programs, Draft, Umpire, Softball Rules
At the higher age levels, teams are determined by drafting players from registration and evaluation lists. Only registered players will be considered in the draft. Parent requests for pairing of players (e.g., to facilitate car pools) can rarely be accommodated. Sibling requests will be honored however. Drafts for baseball and softball will be held in early March. All players will be notified of their teams prior to TBA. Other key dates can be found on the official RBSA calendar.

Additional Programs (at additional cost):
Travel Ball: The RBSA sponsors teams for players in grades 3-12 in a more competitive environment. This program is for those players registered and currently playing in our recreational program, who are seeking a more competitive playing experience. Games are played in the Spring, Summer and Fall and generally do not interfere with Spring recreational season play. Tryouts are conducted in the Spring season for each team. If interested in trying out for a Travel Team, you must register for Travel Tryouts under Travel Softball during Registration. There will be a $10 administrative fee for all Travel Tryout registrants to offset expenses associated with the tryout process..
The RBSA uses both youth and carded umpires. We insist that all players, parents and coaches respect the authority of the umpire.
