Q: If I live in Palm Beach Gardens, am I subject to a Non-Resident fee?
A: Maybe… If you live in “INCORPORATED” Palm Beach Gardens, then you are not subject to a non-resident fee. However, if you live in UN-INCORPORATED Palm Beach Gardens, then you must pay the non-resident fee. You can check to see this on the Palm Beach County Property Appraisers  web site. If your Municipality states “Unincorporated” then you are a non-resident.

A: The Cal Ripken Division of Babe Ruth League, Inc. have approved the use of the 2 5/8 inch barrel bats for local league play and tournament play beginning in January 2018 and coinciding with the new USA Bat standard. The bat must have the USA Baseball Stamp. Wood bats are allowed.

Q: What equipment/uniform items does the League provide as part of my registration fee?
A: Each registered participant receives a uniform that includes a cap, jersey and socks. You will be responsible for pants and an optional belt. T-ball participants receive pants. You will also need to provide your child with a batting helmet (with face mask), fielding glove, bat and cleats.
