• All players that wish to be considered for a travel team must register and attend the tryouts. 
• $50 Deposit will go towards your 2023 Traveling Registration fee. If your child does not make a team, you can be reimbursed or the $50 can go towards your In House Registration.

You don't have to be on facebook to keep yourself informed.  Check out the facebook feed below for all club communication!

Concessions are a huge part of NRBC's success - they allow us to provide water, Gatorade & other drinks to thirsty players & families. We offer hamburgers, sandwiches, hot dogs & more to hungry people which gives them an opportunity to grab a meal at the ballfield instead of having to go run to grab fast food, etc. We bring smiles to faces with Culver's Custard, freeze pops. bubble gum & Laffy Taffy. 

They're also a large source of fundraising for the Club which goes back into the program & allows us to fund other important endevours critical to the success of a high-quality program. 

However, they don't run themselves - and we can't do it alone! We need the help of 4-5 (or more!) people who are willing to join the team for next year. The team will begin meeting once a month (or once every other) starting this fall. As the spring / next season approaches, we'll meet more often to finalize planning. 

Once the season is underway, the Concessions Team will work together to ensure that the Concession Stands run smoothly. We'll make sure items are ordered, reordered & stocked. We'll help create procedures, menus, training & more to assist our wonderful volunteers during their shifts. We'll also have an on-call schedule to support the baseball families during tournament weekends to assist in making runs for more supplies when needed. 

This is a great way to get more involved in the club, gain some DIBS hours up front & help make this important project a success for all.

For the 2022 MBL/MBT seasons, MBL/MBT will allow the use of both USA, USSSA , and BBCOR approved stamped bats in our leagues as well as in tournament play. The decision is in part to simplify the rules and regulations in both league and tournament play in Minnesota and western Wisconsin.  The following bat regulations will be in place:

If you have any questions please reach out to TJ Huber.

The weather in Wisconsin can be challenging and unpredictable in the springtime! The New Richmond Baseball Club may decide to cancel a practice or game due to weather conditions. As a youth program, we will will always put the safety of the kids first!

Any cancellations will be posted on the NRBC Facebook page. If you do not have FB, you can still access that information on the Facebook widget on the NRBC home page on our website. This is the fastest and easiest way to reach the large amount of families in our program.
 
Please note that we only post cancellations. NRBC does not post for practices or games to continue as planned. If you do not see a post for a cancellation for your specific league or a post that says ALL of baseball is cancelled, please assume that your team will still practice or play their game as scheduled. PLEASE ALSO NOTE: There are times where we may cancel baseball practice/games for some leagues, but not all. We consider the age level when making cancellation decisions for each league when there is light weather. This consideration is more common for the youngest baseball leagues (T-ball or Coach Pitch) as compared to the older leagues or even the In-House versus Travel Leagues.
 
If there is inclement weather, the NRBC board of directors monitors the weather considering current conditions and predicted radar over time (rain, thunder storms/lightning, tornado watch, etc.). We strive to make decisions and notify families as early as possible. However, there are times when we do hold off as late as possible if there is a chance the weather conditions would improve and the kids could still play ball. We appreciate your understanding as we do the best we can to ensure safety of the kids.
