May
4- RLL Pitch, Hit and Run Event

Evaluations for softball and baseball divisions (MINORS and MAJORS ONLY) will be held on February 10 at the North Rockford Middle School gyms. Baseball will run 3-4, softball 4-5PM. This is for players that are NEW to RLL or moving from coach pitch into the player pitch divisions, or players from last season that would like to reevaluate if they feel they’ve improved from the end of the 2023 season. If you played in the 2023 season, we have end of season numbers for you! Player pitch teams are 100% drafted. Evaluations let us know where your child falls within his/her age group. This allows our coaches to draft balanced, competitive teams! We encourage every player NEW TO RLL or NEW TO PLAYER PITCH to attend this event! We know families are busy and have a life outside of baseball. If you cannot make evaluations because of other plans, you’re going to be out of town, another sport…it’s not the end of the world! Unfortunately, there will not be a make-up date. It’s very costly for RLL to rent the school gym and it also takes a lot of time and effort for our volunteer board to put together and run this event. Players that do not attend evaluations will still be assigned a team as a hat pick!

Sponsors are a vital part of Rockford Little League, and we very much appreciate their support of the league.  Without the support of our sponsors, it would be a difficult task to provide smooth operations for a community of our size.  We hope that your business will consider taking part in our growing program this year!
We will display your company on our website so it can be viewed by thousands of people. You can even have your company name on the back of a team jersey or banner hung on the outfield fences! In addition, RLL is a 501(c)(3) which means your contribution is tax deductible!
