The Northern Fairfax County Senior Babe Ruth league is open for registration at www.chantillyyouth.org. Our fee will again be $175 per player, which covers uniforms, team equipment, and umpire fees (the vast majority of expenses). This is an outstanding value for the price. We play competitively against other Senior Babe Ruth teams in the area. Every league has a core of high school players and talented baseball enthusiasts. So, bring out your friends and have some fun!
Our players typically come from the following high schools and their feeder schools: Chantilly HS, Oakton HS, Westfield HS, Herndon HS, South Lakes HS, Paul VI HS, Flint Hill HS, and other private schools.
Our Norhtern Fairfax Senior Babe Ruth All-Stars won the 2011 Virginia State Championship and made it to the final 4 in the Southeast Region.
SPRING SEASON: Spring teams will form in early May and start to play games around the middle of May. We will start general practices in April for all registered players and will break into teams for team practices by early May. We hope to use the April practices for skill building and player assessments. High school players may participate in the early practices if your coach approves. Games typically start when the high school season ends.
Our season will include games played against Sr. Babe Ruth teams from other leagues in Northern Virginia, including Greater Fairfax, Vienna, FallsChurch/Annandale, Springfield, Arlington, and Greater Loudoun. Our schedule should include between 15 and 18 games. Typically there will be one game during the week and one on weekends.
Our All-Star season will pick-up immediately at the end of the regular season. We will be hosting the new District 13 All-Star tournament starting around June 30th. The other District 13 leagues include Vienna, Arlington, Greater Fairfax, Springfield, and Falls Church/Annandale. Please consider volunteering to help make this tournament a success.
FALL SEASON: We also will conduct a fall league season. Fall league registration will be conducted over the summer and teams will form by the end of August, practices will start after players are notified, and games will start play around September 7th. The season will end by November 6th. Our fall league schedule typically includes about 14-16 games, including games against teams from the other Northern VA SR Babe Ruth leagues. Typically there will be one game during the week and one on weekends. One practice per week is also typical.
This is a great opportunity for rising 16s to develop skills and get used to playing with the older guys in the league.
