Rebels is a competitive travel baseball program for experienced players. Rosters are limited to 12 players per team and tryouts are required.

All instruction throughout the season will be provided by professional coaches and augmented by experienced CCYB volunteers.

The total cost of $775 includes all facility rentals, professional coaching, umpire fees, team uniforms, and an apparel voucher.

All Rebels players are required to play Town Baseball during the spring season. There are no exceptions to this policy. Rebels is a supplement, not a replacement.

CCYB/S Babe Ruth Programs

When players reach the age of 13 (as of April 30) they are no longer eligible to play on the little league diamond (60 ft base paths). Player safety as well as development dictates the timing of this transition. It is a significant transition and quite entertaining to watch players' reactions when they step on to the big diamond (90 ft base paths) to play for the first time. Suddenly a throw across the diamond is 127 ft (not 84), a solid line drive to right field that drops is probably an out as it is now a 90 ft run and a 30 ft shorter throw for the fielder.

Bat Specifications:

  • Minuteman BR League or Patriot Fall League: USA Baseball stamped bats are allowed
  • Middle and High School baseball: must be BBCor certified, both Drop 3 and does not exceed 2 5/8 inches diameter
  • Babe Ruth League: must be BBCor certified bats
  • Little League: must have a USA Baseball stamp

What is a Drop 3 bat?

  • To be labeled a BBCor or Drop 3 baseball bat, the equipment must have a barrel that is 2 5/8" or smaller in diameter combined with a maximum -3 length to weight ratio. This ratio is referred to as the drop of the bat and it provides information on the bat's length in inches and its weight in ounces. If a bat is 31 inches in length then it will weigh 28 ounces.

Cleats:

  • High School: Metal cleats are permitted
  • All other Leagues: Metal cleats are NOT permitted
