The Babe Ruth division is for players aged 13 to 16. In Babe Ruth, expect:

• In the Spring, Babe Ruth teams participate in the Minuteman League. There is one division for13- to 15-year-olds. Each team is allowed a small number of 16-year-olds also, as long as they are not playing High School or AAU baseball. Any 16-year-old players have significant limitations on how much they are allowed to pitch. In the past there hasbeen a separate13's division, for 13-year-olds moving up to the full-sized (90 foot) diamond for the first time. If this division is offered by the Minuteman League, ABYB willconsider fielding teams if there is sufficient interest from our 13-year-old players. If so, 13-year-old players may also be given the option to participate in both divisions.
• 13-15 Year Old Division: Typically play games on the weekends in the Minuteman League. Practice during the week at coaches' discretion.
• 13 Year Old Division (if offered): Typically play games during the week in the Minuteman League: Patriot Division. Practice on the weekend at coaches' discretion.
• Games are played on full-sized diamonds at Acton-Boxborough Regional High School with 90-foot base paths, as well as in other towns participating in the Minuteman League.
• Some players specialize in defensive positions (e.g., catcher, pitcher).
• There are specific rules for playing time and pitching that all teams in the Minuteman League follow.
• In the Fall, Babe Ruth teams participate in an ABYB league that follows Minuteman League rules with some local modifications specific to the fall season. Players from neighboring towns without a fall program are also allowed to participate.
