Questions from the Sidelines
My child has never played. Is that okay?
Yes. Farm and Single A baseball focus on learning, coach-pitch play, and fun. Softball welcomes new players at every grade without tryouts. Tell the coordinator your child’s grade and experience, and ask which program is the best fit.
What do I need for equipment?
Baseball players need a glove and suitable footwear. Baseball pants are recommended for game play; the league supplies shirts and hats. Shared bats, helmets, and catcher’s gear are provided. Farm players can wear sneakers.
Softball players must have their own fielding mask and softball glove, plus gray game pants. See softball equipment and uniforms.
What kind of baseball bat do I need?
For Cal Ripken non-wood bats, look for the USA Baseball stamp. USSSA-only bats are not permitted; the markings are not interchangeable. Babe Ruth and wood bats have different requirements, so check with your coach before buying. See the bat buying guide and USA Bat Standards (PDF).
Can I get a refund?
Contact your program coordinator for a credit or refund before the season starts if your child can no longer participate. Refunds close after the first two weeks of a season.
Can my child play on a friend’s team?
Include friend requests when registering for Single A baseball. We consider requests while balancing teams. Minors and Majors use evaluations to create balanced teams. Send softball and other division requests to your program coordinator.
Are fee waivers available?
Yes. Eligible Belmont residents can request a waiver under the league’s Fee Waiver Eligibility Policy. Travel-team fees are excluded. Send confidential requests directly to President Brendan Connolly at president@belmontyouthbaseball.com.
How do I volunteer to coach?
Email the baseball or softball coordinator to get started. Return your CORI authorization form to League Registrar Dale Clutter at dale.clutter@gmail.com. Complete the background checks and SafeSport training and receive league clearance before working with players.
Where are rainouts and schedule changes posted?
Your coach will share updates through team communications in TeamSnap. Check before leaving for the field. If no update has been posted, please contact your coach.
