Welcome to 2018 Mountain View Babe Ruth Baseball
Our Babe Ruth program strives to teach the basic skills of baseball along with mental and physical development and a respect for the rules of the game with an emphasis on basic ideals of sportsmanship and fair play.

Fundamentally, we believe that every youngster with a desire to learn and play baseball should be offered the opportunity.  Babe Ruth provides programs for players ages 12 through 19, supporting the growth and competitive needs of our baseball community along with the convenience of being right here in our own backyard.

2018 13-15 Spring League – May to June
All players new to MVBR must attend one of the tryouts listed below.  Each player will be drafted onto one of the existing MVBR league teams on April 28.  From mid-May through mid-June each team will compete in at least 15 league games (2-3 per week at either the Shoreline Athletic Field or a field TBD), followed by a highly competitive end-of-season playoff tournament that will crown a new 2018 MVBR champion.  Immediately after, the All Star Tournament season begins in late June – early July.  Players are selected by merit to participate on each age group's team with the first tournament being the District 6 Championship where MVBR contends against teams from Bel-Mateo and Palo Alto.  MVBR has traditionally hosted the 13-Year-Olds’ District 6 Tournament at McKelvey Park, however, it will now be held at the Shoreline Athletic Field.  Bel-Mateo will welcome the 14's at the Belmont Sports Complex, and Palo Alto will host the 15's at Baylands Park, PA.  Afterward, the winners of each age group move on to the State Tournament followed by Regional competition and finally the Babe Ruth World Series that concludes in early to mid-August (all dates and venues to be determined).

Any player whose birthday is between May 1, 2002 and April 30, 2005 is eligible for MVBR 13-15's League competition.
