Who: Kindergarten through 6th grade boys and girls. 7th grade
boys are eligible if they will turn 13 after April 30th, 2016. 7th

Richmond Area Little League includes the towns of Richmond,
Huntington, and Bolton. This year, once again, we welcome girls

How to register: The BEST way to register is online. This saves
us a lot of extra work and allows you to pay by credit card. Go to
our website: http://richmondarealittleleague.com and click on the
Register Now button. Alternatively, you can fill out the paper
form, available in your school office or on the website, and mail
it along with a check to: Richmond Area Little League, P.O. Box 19,
Richmond, VT 05477.
Cost: $50, if you register by April 2, 2016. If you register
after that, please add the late fee of $35. (This late fee reflects
the actual cost we incur to order a late uniform).
NO REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER APRIL 9th! No refunds
will be issued after April 15th. Any refunds issued after April 2nd
will have uniform fees deducted from them.
Location: Teams play games and practice at Volunteers Green and
Browns Court fields in Richmond. All Softball teams as well as AAA
and Majors Baseball teams also play out-of-town games.
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: All girls will play softball, and boys will play
tee ball or baseball. Please see the chart on the next page for
divisions and practice schedules.
Skills Day/Gear Swap: We are planning a fun skills day for boys
and girls on Saturday, March 19th at CHMS. At the same time, we
will have a gear swap where players can donate gear they have
outgrown and pick up some new gear for the season. Please watch for
more information about this!
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 youd like to
help when you register, and we will contact you with more
information.
