The Challenges of 2021 Season 

Happy New Year ! 

The 2021 season has arrived league is preparing to open up registration for all divisions , going to be very challenging due to the pandemic COVID . 
 

The league is going to need many volunteers on and off the field to ensure the safety of our players, coaches and families , last season was flawless because the RT baseball families worked together to make it work. 
 

This season is very different because all divisions will be on the field, it's so important for the league and players to have more volunteers - coaches ( must be Rutgers Certified ) Team parent or parents , board members, potential treasurer . So please anyone who could and is willing please volunteer.

The season will start a month later then normal , April will be considered pre season for all divisions , teams will practice as well as play games together so players are ready for the anticipated season opening  on May 1st . 
 

Another challenge fields the league most likely will not be able to play on Peterson 1 and 2 due to town improvements with the installation of the new turf fields. The league also doesn't have access to White Meadow Lake fields any longer which hurts the lower divisions. Babe Ruth has offered Peterson 4 for lower level games as well.

Lake Denmark will be solely 50 / 70 field so all Majors games will be played on Lake Denmark which becomes an issue with lighting so games might be scheduled earlier during the week. Marcella would be 40 / 60 field for Minors games good thing with Marcella it has lights.

So we all must be patience work together during this challenging season .

Go RT Baseball ⚾️⚾️⚾️!!!
