Ridgewood NJ, Spring in Bergen County officially arrives when the bats start swinging! The Ridgewood Baseball & Softball Association (RBSA) is gearing up for its milestone 74th Annual Opening Day Parade and Family Fun Day on Saturday, April 25, 2026.
Ridgewood Ladies!!!
Did you know??? Ridgewood has a Women’s Summer Softball League! The League has been around for over 25 years. However, our membership has begun to decline. Our League is a ton of fun and not only do you get to get out of the house and have a night that revolves around YOU being the star athlete (as opposed to your child!) but you also get to meet an amazing group of women! The camaraderie amongst the players is off the charts and we have competitive games full of laughter and respect.

Ridgewood NJ, we have been told over and over that there are not enough playing fields in the Village for the RBSA , but a recent ride around the village would suggest otherwise . We realize it is an isolated moment in time ,but if we are short on fields why does Glen School now have one ball field when it used to have two? By the way the grass looks nice.

Ridgewood NJ, If you have yet to hear, starting January 2018, bat standards for Little League (14 and younger) will change to a more restrictive bat. The barrels on the bats can be 2 5/8—just larger than the 2 1/4 of previous years. The rule change will only affect those who play in leagues governed by Little League International, and of course, RBSA IS LITTLE LEAGUE COMPLIANT. RBSA ADHERES TO ALL LL REGULATIONS. 2018 Compliant bats will have a logo, similar to the images below.
The new USA Baseball bat standard, or USABat, will allow youth baseball organizations to reach their goal of wood-like bat performance in order to preserve the long-term integrity of the game, as well as instill a sense of uniformity among leagues. To identify officially sanctioned youth bats, look for the “USA Baseball” licensing mark, located on the taper.
On Saturday, March 3 rd , RBSA is offering purchase discounts in conjunction with DICK’S Sporting Goods in Paramus, located on Route 17 North.
USE THE ATTACHED COUPON FOR BIG SAVINGS in purchasing 2018 baseball bats.
“My kids tried RBSA softball camp for the first time and LOVED it. I highly recommend it. The counselors taught them great skills. The great thing is it was only $90 a week. You can also pay extra for private lessons for hitting, fielding and pitching.”
