Who are we?
We are a sports program dedicated to serving youth athletes
in our community. Santa Fe AABC is an organization of the American Amateur Baseball
Congress and a direct spin-off of the old Babe Ruth League. Our program is designed to teach the game of baseball and softball
and prepare our young athletes to one day represent our local high schools, at least 80% of today’s local high school
baseball and softball players are graduates of our program. We are truly blessed to
have the athletes we do and look forward to providing a sound youth program for many years to come. Our program begins registration the first weekend in
February and concludes with postseason play in July. We hope our website delivers some insight and understanding of our program and as always welcome
any questions or feedback.
How much does it cost to play?
Our
families do not pay a fee.
To cover their child's costs, families
participate in our annual fundraiser.
Here
is how it works......
Our families (at registration) have an up front expense of $55 per player for a book
of 55 ($1) raffle tickets, they then can sell those tickets, keep the money from the sale (to offset their initial "out
of pocket" expense) and turn in the raffle stubs for our annual drawing. Although this model and fee structure is certainly
not common in today's world of youth sports, our board has committed to do everything possible to maintain a sound
affordable program that ensures every child (no matter their family's economic situation) will always have an opportunity
to participate.
We challenge anyone to find a better deal.
Sponsors:
As you will notice on our "Sponsors" page, every
penny provided by our sponsors is given back to the kids and their teams, none of these funds are ever used towards administrative
costs. Please help us show our appreciation for their generosity by doing business with our sponsors.
