GVAA maintains a firm commitment to service in our community and has organized a Holiday Toy Drive for children whose families are in need.  

On Sunday, December 16th from 9-11am, we will be collecting brand new, unwrapped gifts at Rabinowitz.

The gifts will be distributed to children in need in the area.  Our goal is to collect gifts for at least 100 children. 

We appreciate all of your support in helping us achieve this goal and making this holiday season special for many children!!

Happy Holidays and we look forward to seeing our GVAA Family at the Toy Drive!

GVAA Members,

An Important Rule Change for 2018 that will affect every player in our league.

Starting in January, Cal Ripken Baseball in conjunction with USA Baseball has implemented new bat rules that must be enforced at all levels in both our GVAA Rec and Travel programs. 

These new bats are designed to act like wood bats and they must have a USABat Stamp of Approval to be legal for play.

2018 USA BAT RULES for BABE RUTH/CAL RIPKEN Baseball

TEE BALL BAT RULES:

Beginning January 1, 2018, participating National Member Organizations will adopt the USABat standard for youth baseball and tee ball bats. Unlike standard youth baseball bats, tee ball bats (lengths 26” and shorter) are not required to undergo lab testing to receive approval under the USABat Program.

However, to be approved for play within the participating National Member Organizations, tee ball bats must feature the USA Baseball mark and accompanying permanent text which reads:

ONLY FOR USE WITH APPROVED TEE BALLS
