2012 District Player Commitment

Babe Ruth League's National Tournament begins with District Tournaments that start immediately after July 4th.  Greenwich fields a District Team at each age level: U13, U14 and U15.

Each District Team plays a round-robin/double elimination tournament against the Babe Ruth District Teams at the same age level from Stamford, New Canaan, and Darien.  The District winner at each age level advances to the Connecticut State Tournament held in mid-late July.  The State winner advances to the Regional Tournament held in late July and early August.  The Regional winner advances to the Babe Ruth World Series held in mid-August.

Player selection to the Greenwich District Teams is made by the Managers in the American and National Leagues, and by the Managers of the District Teams based upon the players' performances in the American and National Leagues.  The Greenwich U13 District Team is selected in late May and early June.  The Greenwich U14 & U15 District Teams are selected in early and middle June.

To be eligible for possible selection to the Greenwich District Team a player must commit to attending all District Team practices and games.  This commitment extends as long as the Greenwich District/State/Regional Team advances.
