The League uses a number of fields throughout the township. These fields include those at the Railroad Avenue Complex which has two 60’ fields and one 90’ field and is the primary complex for the League. In addition, two 60’ fields are used at the Cornhuskers field complex which is located off Readington Road, a short distance from where it intersects with Route 523. The League also uses another 90’ field behind Readington Middle School as well as 60’ fields at both the Summer Road, Hillcrest Park and Pickell Park Complexes. The League also utilizes two 60’ practice fields located off Rosevelt Avenue. Directions to any of these fields can be found by going to the Field Directions section of the web page.

The League is governed by a formal set of By-Laws which can be viewed by downloading as a file attachment from the By-Laws Icon. The primary decision-making body of the League is the Executive Board, which is elected once a year each November. The Executive Board is comprised of the League President, the Ex-Vice President of League Operations, the Vice President of Administration/League Secretary, the Vice President of Facilities, VP of Training and Travel, VP of Sponsorship and the League Treasurer. The Executive Board is assisted in running the League by the Voting Council which is comprised of all Executive Board Members plus the League Director for each division, the Registration Chairperson, the Schedule Chairperson, the Snack Stand Chairperson, the Chief of Umpires, the Sponsorship Chairperson, the Raffle Chairperson, the Summer Tournament Chairperson, the Equipment Chairperson, and the Chairman of the Manager Selection Committee.

Any By-Law Amendments or capital expenditures over certain dollar amounts can only be approved by majority vote of the Voting Council.

Except for July and August where there are no meetings, the League meets the first Wednesday of every month usually at the Readington Middle School Cafeteria at 7:30 pm, except for May and June when the meeting starts at 8:00 pm. All are welcomed to attend. The League is always looking for new members and volunteers and the best way to get involved is to attend the monthly League meetings.

The Readington Township Junior Baseball League is run by volunteers. All the registration fees collected, as well as other sources of revenue for the league are used to purchase uniforms, equipment, and insurance, pay umpire fees and maintain and improve the fields that we utilize.

Should anyone be interested in managing a team, this should be marked where appropriate on your child’s registration form and returned to the League at the beginning of each year’s registration period. An application will then be sent to you or can be downloaded from the web page for submission to the League. All first time manager applicants will be interviewed by the Manager Selection Committee and if recommended for a team, subject to approval by the League Executive Board.
