Signup Time Open for Competitive Youth Baseball Group

Budding baseball stars interested in playing in competitive games this spring are being given the opportunity to join a local youth club. 

The Livingston Cal Ripken Baseball Club is holding electronic sign ups for local 11- and 12-year-olds who want to play the game "at the next level." The program is intended to be supplemental to Little League, said Jon Fetner, the club president.

All games will take place at the Northland complex. The children will follow regular baseball rules and they will play on a field with a 50-foot pitching distance and 70-foot base paths, Fetner said.

The club is open to a limited number of players and the playing season will be from April to mid-June. Fetner said the games will not conflict with games for the regular Little League, lacrosse or soccer. 

Enrollment is limited to children who were born between May 1, 1999 to April 30, 2001. There is a $100 fee per child. For more information and to enroll, visit www.lcrbc.com.
