Umpires
The RMSBO wants you to become an umpire. Officiating games is a great way to make some extra cash. Experience is not necessary. If you are new and never worked a game before that's ok, the RMSBO will train you. Professional umpires provide training for the rookie and the experienced umpire. The RMSBO pays the cost of your training. You may sign up with us during registration (see 2010 Registration Dates). This is a paid position. Umpires should be at least 13 years old by May 1st. Session dates and times will be posted at registration.
If you have any questions, please see Mike Sawicki during RMSBO registration or call him at 630-200-9197.
Managers and Coaches
The RMSBO is asking the parents of our players to step up and be a coach or manager. It does not matter if you are inexperienced. Pete Caliendo, a professional instructor, provides your training. He has taught managers, coaches and players from around the world about the game of baseball. Sign up to be a manager or coach during the registration days or call the RMSBO hotline at 630-200-9195.
RMSBO Tournament Teams
These teams will play in tournaments throughout the month of July. These teams play in at least three (3) tournaments, including the RMSBO tournament held at Clauss fields. Dates and times for all tournament team tryouts will be available at the RMSBO registration. Teams are formed for the following age brackets:
Girls 10u, 12u, 14u, and 16u Boys 8, 9, 10, 11&12, and 13&14
All registered players are eligible to tryout. If you have any questions please ask any board member during registration or ask the manager of your team as soon as it is formed.
Boys Pony Division
This year the Boys Pony division will be entered into the Rosedale League. They will play games against neighboring towns. Some of the towns participating in this league are: Addison, Itasca, Wood Dale, Villa Park, Bloomingdale and Glendale Heights. More details will be available at registration.
Girls In House Softball
Our girls Minor, Major and Pony Divisions will once again compete against teams from Streamwood and Hoffman Estates. This started as an experimental league two years ago and has been a great success!
The RMSBO is also looking into the possibility of starting an all high school age (15 - 18) in house type league. This would be a recreational league comprised of girls who do not play high school softball. Look for more information at registration!
Our Partnership With the Local Park Districts
The RMSBO has a contractual agreement with both the Roselle and Medinah Park Districts. As the recognized provider of youth softball and baseball in the area, the RMSBO has usage rights to the fields and facilities within the Roselle and Medinah Park Districts. This is a long standing partnership that is continuing and will continue into the foreseeable future. We complement the Roselle and Medinah Park Districts on their dedication to making our playing fields the best they can be!
