!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 - 11am at Camels Hump Middle
School. This allows us to place them with kids of similar abilities
and make sure the teams are fair. Please see the chart on the next
page for divisions and practice schedules. !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!
