    Baseball Weekend 5/17-5/18 - Pictures and Games Schedule

    We are still working on dates/times for Machine Pitch pictures - will plan on a regular practice/game night - stay tuned!

    Important Notes for Pictures:

    • Pictures are taken at Hatfield Park between fields 1 & 2. 
    • Parents will not be allowed back into the photo area.
    • Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your assigned picture time so that kids can be lined up and prepared with their shirts tucked in, gloves in hand and hats on straight. We have parents signed up for DIBS shifts to help with this process as well. We have a very busy schedule of pictures so we appreciate anything that can be done to help keep things going smoothly.
    • If you would like to order pictures, please download the order form from the NRBC website, fill it out and bring with payment to be dropped off at the photography table. Direct link below to the form.

    Zauft Photography Order Form 2024

    NOTE: Parents of T-Ball kids - please pay special attention to your player's league - American League vs National League plus the color. We have team's with the same color jersey in both leagues, as well as three different shades of grey and two different shades of orange for t-ball! We want to avoid confusion and make sure that you show up for the correct time for your player's team! 

     

    • NRBC APPAREL and RAFFLE TICKES SALE

    We will have some extra NRBC apparel for sale, so stop by to check it out! We will also be selling individual raffle tickets for our Summer Grand Slam cash giveaway - $10 gets you a raffle ticket to be entered into a daily drawing throughout the month of July with cash prizes ranging from $50 - $1000.

    • RAFFLE TICKET STUB DROP-OFF

    If you have raffle ticket stubs to drop off, lockboxes have been installed at both Star Prairie and Hatfield inside the door at Concessions - raffle tickets can be dropped off at either of those fields any time the concession stands are open. You will want to have them all turned in by the end of June so that they will be entered into each day's drawing throughout the month of July. 

    • CHEVY TEST DRIVE

    Sign up to take a Chevy test drive on Saturday to support our fundraiser.


    "Like" the NRBC facebook page for weather related cancellations!

    You don't have to be on facebook to keep yourself informed.  Check out the facebook feed below for all club communication!

    NRBC Cancellation Notifications

    The weather in Wisconsin can be challenging and unpredictable in the springtime! The New Richmond Baseball Club may decide to cancel a practice or game due to weather conditions. As a youth program, we will will always put the safety of the kids first!

    Any cancellations will be posted on the NRBC Facebook page. If you do not have FB, you can still access that information on the Facebook widget on the NRBC home page on our website. This is the fastest and easiest way to reach the large amount of families in our program.
     
    Please note that we only post cancellations. NRBC does not post for practices or games to continue as planned. If you do not see a post for a cancellation for your specific league or a post that says ALL of baseball is cancelled, please assume that your team will still practice or play their game as scheduled. PLEASE ALSO NOTE: There are times where we may cancel baseball practice/games for some leagues, but not all. We consider the age level when making cancellation decisions for each league when there is light weather. This consideration is more common for the youngest baseball leagues (T-ball or Coach Pitch) as compared to the older leagues or even the In-House versus Travel Leagues.
     
    If there is inclement weather, the NRBC board of directors monitors the weather considering current conditions and predicted radar over time (rain, thunder storms/lightning, tornado watch, etc.). We strive to make decisions and notify families as early as possible. However, there are times when we do hold off as late as possible if there is a chance the weather conditions would improve and the kids could still play ball. We appreciate your understanding as we do the best we can to ensure safety of the kids.
