Fall Field Clean-Up

The spring / summer season has completed and fall teams will also complete soon. There are some final field clean-up activities that need to occur at the Legion field, Parkview field, and the Evergreen complex. RAYB anticipates this to be the final volunteer event of the 2021 season.

On Sunday, September 26th 9am, we will start at the Legion field to take down the banners around the fencing. We estimate this activity to take approximately 20 minutes. Following that effort, we will proceed to the Parkview field to take down the outfield fencing, and conclude at Evergreen (removing banners, backstop and dugout covers, plus unloading and storing items from the other locations).

If you are willing to help with these activities, please join us on Sunday and make sure you check-in with the RAYB representative at the field as we no longer utilize DIBS for volunteer management (and the new volunteer system will be up and running for the 2022 season).

If you have any questions about this event, please contact the RAYB Volunteer Coordinator, Gretchen Unseth.

Thank you for your support of RAYB - we hope the 2021 season was a fun and engaging one for you and your player(s). We are looking forward to 2022!

New Site Design!

RAYB has a new site design and content management system! This means parents will need to create a new user account, and then set up their players. A single player can be associated with multiple user accounts, so all parents and guardians can complete and view registrations, view family calendars, etc.

Once a user account is set up and a player is created, and you want to set up another user account to be associated with that player, complete the following steps after logging in:

1. Click Account in the top navigation.
2. Click Participants in the left navigation (click the down arrow if you are accessing the website from a mobile device).
3. Click 'View Details' on the participant (player) in question.
4. Once on the player profile, click Add Account at the top.
5. Enter the user's (parent's) email address. At this time they will receive an email address inviting them to access the participant.

To view your player's calendar, click on Family Calendar at the top of the page. This will be associated with your player for every year they play with RAYB. If you add the calendar feed to your preferred calendar type it will remain the same feed year after year - no need to re-add a new feed each year.

If you are experiencing any issues or have questions, please reach out to Ang Dezelske (RAYB Registration Director) at ac.dezelske@gmail.com.

Important Change for RAYB Travel Program: Fall Tryouts!

This year RAYB is introducing Fall baseball tryouts for the upcoming 2022 baseball season.

This decision was carefully considered before being finalized. There were many reasons for moving to fall tryouts. Some of the main motivations in making the move were:

Time, cost, and availability constraints in securing an indoor facility to conduct tryouts in early Spring
Busy schedules for families in March with spring break and winter sports ongoing
Improves ability to place teams at the correct playing levels
Earlier tournament entry allowing teams to play at the correct level in tournaments
Allows adequate time to secure rosters and high-quality coaches
Allows adequate time to order equipment and uniforms

RAYB is aware that there is no perfect fit for every RAYB family, but in the long run we are hoping this will ensure a smoother transition into the start of baseball season next year.

Currently, we are anticipating a date of Saturday, Sept 11th for baseball tryouts.

Stay tuned - more detailed information to come soon!
