NFC 16-19 Senior Babe Ruth 

Registration for 16-19 NFC Babe Ruth is via the CYA Registration link

The Senior Division is a combination of 16-19 year old players. There are usually 3-4 teams in the NFC Senior Division. NFC Senior Division teams play a 14-16 game schedule with inter- league play against senior level teams from other Babe Ruth leagues in the Northern Virginia area including teams in our District (VII) and other districts. There is an all-star team season following the regular season.

Our intent is to have fun and play as high a level of baseball as possible.  We encourage players to identify friends they want to play with on the same team.  We try to honor as many of these requests as possible, while making each team competitive.  Players can remain on the same team each year or request to be on a different team from the previous year.

Practices for the spring season start in April.  Up to 2 practices per week are normal.  Players that are participating in sping High School sports (e.g., baseball, LAX, soccer, track) can participate in practices.  Games normally will start in the second half of May and finish around early July.  Two to three games per week are normal during the spring season.  Some early games may be conducted with players that are available before college players return and high school players finish their spring season.

Our NFC Senior Division also plays a fall season from September through early November.  Registration for the fall season starts in July.  Players that were league age 15 a spring seeason are expected to play as rising 16's in the NFC 16-18 Division in the fall season. Registration for the fall Senior Division is via the CYA Registration link. 

Our Senior Division has sponsored an indoor Winter Camp starting in January and ending by March. Starting in 2019, the Winter Camp will be conducted in the CYA Fieldhouse.  The camp is open to all players from Little League age through 19.  You do not have to have played in our league to participate in the camp.  Registration is available via the CYA Registration link.
