The 13u and 14u Ruffnecks play a robust schedule during the Spring Season which runs from the beginning of March to through Memorial Day Weekend. The team schedules are posted on the respective team pages. Players and families should consult the team schedule page and the “Announcements” on the home page of the website for updates. Email communications provide more immediate, timely notices as necessary.
Spring practices are held at the Roxbury Latin School and at The Ruffnecks Facility. Regular, on-field practices are scheduled for Thursdays (late afternoon to dusk). Players should always be in uniform at both venues. Updates are provided below:
Both the 13u and 14u Ruffnecks are in tournament mode, though the weather continues to be less than cooperative. It has been a difficult spring since the start of April, particularly on weekends. With the month of May, both Ruffnecks teams are now playing tournaments. May 16-18 is the Perfect Game PG Super25. Then we leap to Memorial Day Weekend and the Firecracker Memorial Day Classic.
The wet spring has certainly had an effect on the schedule makers. Following another rain delayed Memorial Day Weekend tournament the 13’s and 14’s turn their attention the prospects of drier, warmer, weather in June. Tournaments at the NEBC and elsewhere lead to the CABA World Series in Cincinnati, Ohio July 8-13.
This past springs saw combined rosters of 13u/14u Ruffnecks play mid-week games against prep JV opponents. Thank goodness we had these contests on the schedule to provide some buffer to the weekend cancelations.
The 13u Ruffnecks advanced to the semifinals of the PG Super25 May 17-18 in an excellent team effort. Both the 13s and 14’s look forward to competing in the Perfect Game Super Regional May 30-June 1.
