|
| Q - My son will be playing school baseball, can he still play Babe Ruth? |
| A - Yes. The Babe Ruth season begins after school baseball is complete. Babe Ruth practices begin for those players not playing school ball and the school ball players join the team when school ball is over. School ball players are not permitted to practice with their team until their school team responsibility is complete. |
|
|
| Q - My son will be playing on a travel baseball team, can he still play Babe Ruth? |
| A - Technically, Yes. But remember, each team has a fixed number of players and most teams are affected by having some players out each week on family vacations. When players miss Babe Ruth games because they elect to play travel ball instead, their team may fall below the minimum number of players and be forced to forfeit. Of course this is very unfair to the other players on the team. So please consider the other players who are not playing travel ball. |

| A - Practices are tentatively scheduled to begin April 1st. |
|
