In what division will my child play?
Please click the "QYBA Cal Ripken Divisions" link to the left for complete information on the five divisions within the QYBA.

Can I request a certain coach?
QYBA Cal Ripken utilizes a "blind draft" to evenly distribute team players based on ability and years of experience. As a general rule, no special coach/player requests are accepted. However, if there are extenuating circumstances, please contact the QYBA president.

Can I request not to have a certain coach?
If for some reason you do not wish your child to be coached by a particular individual, please contact the QYBA president.

Can I request my child "play up" in a higher division?
To ensure the safety of all players in QYBA Cal Ripken, we do not accept any requests to "play up" in a higher division than their age allows.

How often and on what nights do the different age divisions play?
Generally, most teams will play twice per week. There will be games on weeknights and Saturdays. The schedule will be released shortly before the season begins and will be posted on the QYBA website.

What time do the QYBA Cal Ripken games start?
Weeknight games start promptly at 6:00 pm. Saturday game times vary.

How often are practices?
Practices are scheduled by the individual coaches with input from the parents, but we encourage no more than 3 practices/games per week. Note that however that it is common for there to be more practices early on, as the coaches identify the needs of the team.
