At the highest level, (Majors) RBLL expects to field well-rounded, highly skilled players and teams who play competitively at the District and State level.

Robbinsdale Little League Family,

For a while now, there has been a trend in youth sports of declining numbers.  We have gone from 4-5 Major teams down to 2 Major teams last year.  Last year also was the first time in our association history that we did not have a 12-year-old District All Star team.  Recognizing this continuing trend and the impact to our players’ experience we are partnering with our neighbor, Crystal Little League.

This is natural partnership as we have families that live in our communities and play for the other league due to boundary or school attendance.  Many of our players play together in other sports such as hockey and football and likely will go on to play together after Little League.  This is a new chapter in the history of Crystal and Robbinsdale baseball.  This will be a year of many firsts and for others their last year.  But for all, we will be a part of something new and exciting for the future of baseball in our community.  Please join me in welcoming Crystal Little League families into our new combined league for 2020.

The 2020 season will combine all players registering for both Crystal and Robbinsdale Little Leagues. This means that all teams will be comprised of a mix of both Robbinsdale and Crystal players and coaches.  For this season, we will still technically be separate associations and you will see some logos and signage for Crystal and Robbinsdale.  We will be operating and playing as a single League in anticipation for the official merger following the 2020 season.

Registrations for this season will be combined and done through the Crystal Little League website. During registration, there will be a check box to indicate if you are registering for Crystal or Robbinsdale Little League. The check box is only for record keeping and to help keep track of players from each association for the current season.

After the 2020 season has concluded, both boards will continue to work together to form the future direction of the program(s). This will likely result in new logos and a new brand, incorporating both Crystal and Robbinsdale in the title of the association as we move forward.

Sincerely,

Craig Combs

President Robbinsdale Little League
