SL Babe Ruth

Silver Lake Babe Ruth & Silver Lake Senior Babe Ruth

Silver Lake Babe Ruth League was officially formed in the Spring of 2006 with Kingston's Babe Ruth charter formally expanded to include the towns of Halifax and Plympton.

Players from Kingston, Halifax, and Plympton who are between the ages of 13-15 as of May 1st each year are welcome to play within the SLBR League.  Our spring league is not based on tryouts and all individuals within this age classification may play in the SLBR League.

Each year the league will evaluate the population of the total players, and per each age group, and then decide upon the League's spring division structure.  Wheter it be 13 prep and a 14/15 division, or one combined 13-15 league will be determined by the SLBR committee.

Silver Lake Babe Ruth is a home league during the spring with teams/opponents formed from within its League.  Games and practices will take place at Kingston and Halifax fields suitable for Babe Ruth division games. 

During the summer baseball season, SLBR forms all-star teams across all age groups.  In some cases, multiple teams per age/division may exist.  Participation is based on a selection process and by tryouts.  Summer league play is that of a travel format which may or may not include tournament play.  Significant commitment is expected. 

SLBR League shall be working closely with our SLRHS coaching staff with the intent of our League being a feeder system to the High School program.  Coaches and player clinics, introductions and other activity will be developing over time to further align the program.

SLBR will also offer Fall baseball each year for players who will be between the ages of 13 & 15 for the next spring season.  There is a focus on introducing the Babe Ruth game to the previous years 12 year olds to get them familiar with the game on the big diamond.

The Senior Babe Ruth Program has been underway for 2 playing seasons.  Senior Babe Ruth Baseball is for players between the ages of 16-18 as of May 1st each year.  SLBR charters this team under KYBSL and plays in the recently formed Old Colony Senior Babe Ruth League based in Middelboro.  This exciting and competative league consists of 12-16 teams from area towns of Plymouth, Middleboro, Taunton, Duxbury, and Wareham/Carver.  Other local towns are also interested.

The Senior Babe Ruth season begins after the high school season has completed so there is no conflict with school ball.  Additionally, players may also participate in Legion ball if they are selected.
