Babe Ruth Life Cycle
For the players, coaches, and managers, it generally starts at the Fall tryout.  Many players may get a taste of the “big diamond” from the "fallball " or "summerball" programs and the managers start the assessment process for the following year. The winter months settle in and the manager notes are put aside. There may be winter clinics to attend to work off that winter rust. In March, spring is not that far away and Babe Ruth has another tryout, so kids can once again showcase their skills to the managers and coaches of the current 10 teams. The kids then nervously wait to see which team they will be on with a new season about to begin. As managers and coaches, we evaluate all the players to ensure that we are placing the players at the appropriate levels. Some move into the "A" level called the seniors, while others play in the "B" level called intermediates. The kids are drafted to an affiliate (one senior and one intermediate team) and continue to work together until the final decision on which players will play in the "A" and which players will play in the "B" division. Then the season begins and before too long, the season is nearing an end. Another year passes and kids graduate and the rookies move up a notch to veteran status. The managers and coaches are all volunteers who all work to ensure that the over 130 players have a positive Babe Ruth experience.
