Fargo Babe Ruth League

The objective of the local league shall be to provide competitive baseball through the development and operation of a supervised baseball program for 8 to 18 year olds. It is our belief that every child with a desire to play baseball be afforded that opportunity and will seek to develop and promote the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and reverence in our youth. Fargo Babe Ruth believes that kids come first!

Babe Ruth Baseball is a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to developing better citizens by providing properly supervised baseball competition for 8 to 18 year old players.  Incorporated in 1951, there are now 8,500 leagues and 51,000 teams in the United States and Canada.

The objective of the local league shall be to provide competitive baseball through the development and operation of a supervised baseball program for 8 to 18 year old youth residing in the Fargo School District.  This organization will seek to develop and promote the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and reverence in the youth of this local.  The supervisors shall bear in mind that the modeling of future adults is of primary importance and attainment of exceptional athletic skill or the winning of games is secondary.
