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 - 11a.m. at Camel’s Hump Middle School. This allows us to place them with kids of similar abilities and make sure the teams are fair. 

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 you’d like to help when you register, and we will contact you with more information.
