BABE RUTH/CAL RIPKEN COACHES TRAINING
ALL BASEBALL managers and coaches...
Our affiliation with Babe Ruth/ Cal Ripken baseball requires that all managers and coaches be certified. In addition, we must verify that ALL baseball managers and coaches have completed the course and are certified PRIOR TO THE START of GAMES.
The course is Web-based, with all content; reading material, animation, audio clips, quizzes, and test being delivered over the Internet. Once you purchase your course, you can take it immediately; you do not need to wait for anything to be mailed to you. You do not have to take the course all in one sitting... you can log back in anytime and pick up where you left off. Managers/Coaches should expect to spend about two-three hours going through the online course. Careful reading of the PDF book and other materials found within the course will require additional time. The cost of the course is $19.95. The certification is good for the coaches entire career in the DVAA or any Babe Ruth/ Cal Ripken affiliated league.
To take the course..
1. Go to https://www.baberuthcoaching.org/coaches/ purchase and take the course.
2. Once you have completed the course print out your certificate of completion and keep it for your records.
We thank you for your time and effort.
HELP US IMPROVE THE DVAA...
Volunteer Flyer
There have been some changes at the DVAA and we are looking for your input on how to make the league better.
We have come up with a few ideas for 2008 and beyond. Here are just some of are goals for the upcoming season:
* Full uniforms for every player
* Limit team size to a maximum of 10 players for t-ball and 12 players in all other divisions
* Continuation of field maintenance and improvement projects
* Improved training for all coaches through our association with Cal Ripken/ Babe Ruth
* Opening Day ceremonies.
Please plan to attend one, or all, of our upcoming monthly meetings to share your ideas on how to improve the DVAA. Meetings are held at the Milford Fire Department, located on Route 519 (21 Water St) in Milford, NJ. Upcoming meetings are scheduled as follows:
8 PM- May 20, 2008
8 PM- June 17, 2008
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED...

The DVAA is a non-profit, recreational baseball and softball league run entirely by volunteers. We are dependent on volunteers to help provide the best experience possible to the children of our area.
In addition to Managers and Coaches we are in need of help in many areas. Please learn how you can help by clicking the link above, printing the form and bringing it with you to the next DVAA Meeting or "In person" Registration Date.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO IMPROVE THE DVAA!!!
SEASON AGE DETERMINATION DATES
Parental Waiver Form
Over the past few years, Babe Ruth League, Inc. in conjunction with USA Baseball and it’s affiliated members have been researching and studying the age determination dates for youth baseball and softball. A major issue facing our sport today is the decline in player participation after the 10 year old age bracket. The result of the research shows that an initial step in reversing this trend would be to change the age cutoff date from July 31st to April 30th. The DVAA instituted the new age determination date as of the 2006 season. Division eligibility is determined by the child’s age as of April 30, 2008.
BASEBALL
T-ball: Children ages 5 and 6 (grades PK-K)
Coach Pitch: Children ages 7 and 8 (grades 1st- 2nd)
Minor’s: Boys ages 9 and 10 (grades 3rd- 4th)
Major’s: Boys ages 11 and 12 (grades 5th- 6th)
Teener’s: Boys ages 13 to 14 (grades 7th- 8th)
SOFTBALL
Instructional: Girls ages 6 to 9 (grades 1st- 3rd)
Minor’s: Girls ages 10 to 12 (grades 4th- 6th)
Major’s: Girls ages 13 to 14 (grades 7th- 8th)
NOTE: The ages and grades listed above will cover the majority of players. We understand that a small percentage of players have the ability to play at a level above their designated age group. Parents desiring their children to "play-up" must complete a DVAA Parental Waiver Form to accompany the 2008 registration form. Waiver forms will be available at registration or by clicking the link above.
