RPLL Families,
This Friday we celebrate the start of our 53rd season, and Opening Night is where it all comes together.
600 players. 56 teams. Hundreds of volunteers. One PQ Baseball community.
It’s a night that reminds us that RPLL is about more than just practices and games; it’s about belonging, connection, and showing up for one another.
(To be fair, it’s probably about the Snack Shack too…and you can sign up to grab a volunteer shift right here!)
We hope you’ll join us Friday evening.
