​Welcome to RYA Recreational Baseball

The RYA Recreational Baseball Program is designed to attract as many players in the community, who have a sincere interest in the game. In our younger leagues we attempt to include every single player who registers to play. Our goal is to give every player at RYA an opportunity to gain a fondness for and an interest in the game. We also strive to give them every chance to learn the basic skills the game requires.

As our recreational players advance in age, we still provide an "all inclusive" approach to participation. The privilege of increased participation is earned through attainment of performance levels by conscientious attendance at games and practice sessions, as well as general conduct and development on the playing field.

  • Program is co-ed for Boys and Girls from the age of 3 -14
    Age is determined by the player's age as of May 1, 2024.
  • Coaches are NAYS certified and have annual background checks
  • Umpires are NAYS certified and have annual background checks

Spring 2024 Rec Baseball

Kids drafted on Fall teams are not guaranteed to return to same rosters in the Spring. We use Spring-to-Spring rosters to determine returning players. Coaches will be able to protect 6 returning players from previous Spring rosters within the same age division - all other players will be subject to RYA draft following the Player Look for kid pitch leagues. Reasonable accommodations will be attempted to keep players together in coach pitch and t-ball leagues.

Coaches must have background checks through the RYA website under the Coaches/Umpires tab. If you have completed the Coach registration in the last calendar year, no new registration is required. Coaches will also need to be NAYS certified. RYA will provide head coaches with game balls and will also receive a complimentary team jersey at no cost to the coach. Assistant Coaches will be able to purchase a team jersey if they like as well. Interested coaches should reach out to director at recbaseball@ryasports.com and look over the coaching responsibilities in the Coaches Corner.

Games will primarily be hosted at Richfield Park or Cross Timbers Park in North Richland Hills, unless there is an interlock agreement in place with other nearby youth sports associations. For this upcoming Spring, some of our older age levels may be interlocked with various youth associations. This is determined based on the number of players that sign up at each age level and the number of teams we are able to form.

Games for 4u and 6u will primarily be on Saturday mornings.
Games for 8u, 10u, 12u, and 14u can be on Saturdays throughout the day or Thursday nights. Other weeknight games could be played on Mondays or Tuesdays if needed.


Registration Costs

3/4u - $80 Early / $100 Regular
5/6u - $100 Early / $120 Regular
7/8u - $130 Early / $150 Regular
9/10u - $150 Early / $170 Regular
11/12u - $160 Early / $180 Regular
13/14u - $160 Early / $180 Regular

Full refunds are not provided after jerseys have been ordered or the season has started. Partial refunds can be issued on a case-by-case basis. 

Age is determined by the player's age as of May 1, 2024.


What is Included in Registration?

Registration fees cover a jersey, hat, socks, and belt for each player. 

These fees also cover field maintenance fees, lights for the fields, supplemental insurance, game equipment, head coach jerseys, and umpire salaries. 

Trophies are provided for all players in our 3/4u T-Ball program each season. Rings are given to the top 2 teams in our 6u, 8u, 10u, 12u, and 14u programs only in the Spring season. 


What should we buy for our player?

We suggest waiting to meet your coach to determine team colors, but parents will need to buy pants to match their team colors.

Parents will also need to provide their child a fielding glove that fits their player's hand. Parents are encouraged to purchase their player cleats (no metal), a bat, and helmet. You can also purchase batting gloves if desired. Coaches could have some team bats and helmets, but these would be shared items.
