WESTFIELD – Greater Westfield Babe Ruth League president Dan Welch has announced signups for the 2016 baseball season. The signups will be held on Friday, January 8th from 6 PM – 8 PM and on Saturday, January 9th from 10 AM to Noon. The signups will be held at the new Westfield Senior Center located at 45 Noble Street in Westfield.
The Greater Westfield Babe Ruth League has provided competitive baseball for more than 60 years. Players from Westfield, Southwick, Granville, Montgomery, Blandford, Huntington, Agawam, West Springfield and Southampton are invited to sign up. The league provides baseball opportunities for players from age 13 through age 16. New players at all ages are chosen for teams each season.
The league’s success can be attributed to the many trained coaches and league volunteers that work tirelessly to support the league. The league has enjoyed great success in the 2012 and 2014 seasons with teams earning trips to the Babe Ruth World Series Tournaments in Kitsap County, WA and Ocala, FL.
Westfield Babe Ruth provides the travel ball experience without the high cost to join other programs. Most games are played at Bullens Field in Westfield.
Westfield Babe Ruth has also been selected to host the 2016 Fourteen Year Old World Series. This will be a great opportunity to showcase the City of Westfield and our league to Regional Champion teams from around the country.
Advance signups for tryouts to be held in February are required. Please contact Dan Welch (530-3374) if you have any questions. A copy of a player’s birth certificate is needed for signups. – Courtesy of Westfield Babe Ruth Baseball
