Many hands are needed to have a successful and enjoyable baseball season. A $100 DEPOSIT PER FAMILY will be collected from all families participating in A/R Baseball, both House and Traveling. Checks will be collected by the head coach or team parent.  All checks must be turned in before a player can receive their uniform. Checks will be returned at the end of the season upon fulfilling the volunteer requirement of 4 hours per family. Head coaches, their two assistants, and the team parent will not be required to submit a volunteer check. Coaching is a big commitment and we want to honor that.

Positive Coaching Alliance and Anoka/Ramsey Baseball have established a partnership for the 2012 season. We look forward to the comittment towards coaching and team improvement for the 2012 season within our program. Look for more specific announcements soon.

We would like to announce the 2011-12 apparel option for all Anoka/Ramsey Baseball players and families/players. A/R Baseball has partnered with Low and Inside, LLC of Lino Lakes, to bring a wide variety of A/R Baseball logo items and accessories to all involved with the program. We are accepting orders for any item listed in the .pdf form. A generous portion of all items sold go directly back into the A/R Baseball program as we aim to keep costs down for all participants. We have conveniently posted a small 2-page A/R BASEBALL APPAREL CATALOG in .pdf format on our website for you to download and browse through. It is 2 pages and the order form and related instructions are included to mail to Low and Inside, LLC directly. All orders will be completed within 12 days of your order (sometimes sooner depending on stock) and delivered directly to you when completed. High quality jackets, sliding shorts, uniform pants, warmups and other related items are also available at very reasonable prices with your choice of the official A/R Baseball logo or the new Tornadoes logo which will be showcased by the A/R Travel program.

This is a great source for a wide variety of baseball clinics and training sessions available to A/R Baseball players of all levels. We encourage you to find a program or clinic that will help build skills and confidence on the diamond in 2012. We ask for your feedback on the program or clinic you elected to participate in to better promote positive results for other players in A/R Baseball.
