Babe Ruth Philosophy:

Participation is of paramount importance when it comes to helping a young player learn the game and helping keep an older player in the game. Participation allows a child to grow and excel at their own pace and ability while learning individual skills, sportsmanship, teamwork and a sense of community. Who in amateur baseball or softball really knows which player will be better than another player? No one can say for sure that the inexperienced player or the marginal or below-marginal player, with proper instruction and practice, will not grow up to become another baseball or softball great. 

Babe Ruth League, Inc. realizes that tournament/travel competition is an exciting culmination/addition to a local league season. In fact, Babe Ruth League’s tournament trail is a win-win experience offering many memorable moments for our players. However, focus needs to remain on local league play where every participant receives the opportunity to take part in the game. When the whole issue of winning becomes primary, then participation suffers. Giving the best players more playing time (as is done in tournament/travel games) may help a team win more games, but at what cost? Remember, the more that one plays, the better one tends to get. 

Baseball and softball can only remain in the hearts of our country’s youth if we, as adults, continue to hold enjoyable practice sessions and promote local league competition where everyone is included.
