2025 Baseball & Softball

          Believe it or not, it’s time to start thinking about 2025 spring baseball and softball.  The leagues at River Valley Baseball are now forming and you’ll want to get your child or your team enrolled.  That’s easily done, here at the Bridgeton Athletic Association.  Just click the blue button marked, “Click Here To Register” and follow the instructions.  You will register and pay in one simple transaction.  We are holding the line on registration fees, as we have done the past few years.  They are as follows:

                    T-Ball – ages 4 & 5:  $100 per player; team registration – $1,150;

                    PAL Ball – ages 6 & 7:  $100 per player, team registration – $1,150;

                    Baseball – ages 8 – 14:  $120 per player; team registration – $1,400;

                    Softball – ages 9 – high school – $120 per player; team registration – $1,400;

          River Valley Baseball will play Monday through Thursday, and all games will be held at the Bridgeton Municipal Athletic Complex (BMAC).  T-Ball & PAL Ball (machine pitch) will play a ten-game season, while baseball plays twelve – generally, one game per week.  The season will begin in mid-April and finish in early July.  Softball teams will play in the North County travel league along with ABC Ballpark in St. Ann.

          Individual players who are not already part of an existing team are invited to register for the player pool.  Assignments from the player pool are made after the conclusion of registrations in the month of March.  Parents: Placement of players from the player pool is diligently pursued, but not guaranteed.

            Please Note:

          1)  If your game is rained out, be sure to watch your online schedule for the rescheduled date.  The rained-out date will appear in red.  When you pass your mouse over it, you will see the rescheduled date.  When you go to that date on your calendar, the game information will be there.
          2)  NOTE:  The second team listed is the home team.
          3)  Our playing rules were changed in 2023 regarding game duration for age divisions 9u and up.  Under the new rule, no new inning will begin after 1:30 has elapsed.  Any inning underway at that point will be played to completion.
