Join us for the upcoming August Board Meeting & hear about the future for RAYB.

Date:          Tuesday, August 18, 2020
Time:          7pm
Location:  Rosetown Legion Hall (Back Room)

For those still looking for a summer baseball option, RAYB Registration Director (and former Rec League Commissioner), Joey White will be running a free 6-week sandlot league.

There will be a machine pitch option for kids going into 2nd through 4th grades and a kid pitch option for kids going into 5th and 6th grades. The exact format will be dependent on the number of participants. Details can be found here: SANDLOT PAGE

Moving forward, communications will only be sent to those who register. If you have any questions, please contact Joey White (jbwmsp@gmail.com). 

Update from the RAYB Executive Committee:

Minnesota's Governor recently adjusted his shelter-in-place order to allow more opportunities in respect to youth sports. The RAYB Executive Committee has been meeting and discussing these changes, and still feels the future is too unpredictable. As a result, RAYB will not be offering any type of organized association baseball this summer. 

Below are two outside options we are aware of for summer baseball.
MYAS Travel League:

• July – August (12 game schedule)
• Teams formed on their own and register through MYAS
  • No teams will be affiliated with RAYB
  • RAYB will try to assist with field availability (practices/games)
  • Catcher equipment / baseballs / bats available for use (upon approval through RAYB)

Club Baseball:
We know there are many Club Baseball organizations offering baseball this summer. Some are soliciting families within Roseville and surrounding communities. RAYB respects Club Baseball very much and many of these organizations offer a great experience. If you feel your son/daughter would like to try a Club Baseball option this year, please feel free to pursue that direction. 

RAYB will not discourage your son or daughter from playing either of the above options and your decision to play or not to play will have no impact on future team placement within RAYB. 
 
RAYB is recognized throughout the state as a top notch baseball association that strives to offer every Roseville Area resident the opportunity to play baseball. Unfortunately, this year is different due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We believe in our future together, and eagerly look forward to the 2021 RAYB season.

Thank you for your continued support of RAYB. If you have any questions, please contact a member of the RAYB Executive Committee.

What can we do to help RAYB?
As a fundraising (and spirit raising) activity, RAYB has worked with our local business partner, Revolution Sporting Goods to offer a commemorative logo wear option. “Roseville Baseball 2020 – Safe at Home” recognizes the unique “season” that is 2020. Funds raised will help offset incurred expenses and help fund equipment purchases for the 2021 season. We have options for Men, Women and Youth T-Shirts & Sweatshirts. Use the following link to check out the design and place your order today!
