Program Descriptions:

“House” Babe Ruth Teams: 

Wilton will field teams at the 13U and 15U levels, and organize as many teams as needed to accommodate all registered players. The Babe Ruth House season runs from early April to mid June. Play is against other local Babe Ruth House teams throughout Fairfield County.  Play is on the full sized field, and comes with paid professional coaches with years of experience, and a high level of instruction. The level of play will be less competitive than Travel and is ideal for the more casual player who enjoys baseball, but does not expect to play in high school. We anticipate one practice and 2 games a week.  A 13 year old a player could be placed on either the 13U or 15U team, depending on his skill level, and the number of registrations.

No Tryouts are required for the Babe Ruth program
