GIRLS MOSQUITO DIVISION

House League is the foundation of RYBL, and we are thrilled to invite you to the 2025 Mosquito Girls House Division for all girls born in 2014 and 2015.

Mosquito is the first level where a player receives a live pitch from a pitcher from the opposing team. An emphasis is placed on skills development, strategy, position playing, sportsmanship, team play and FUN. Our goal is to create a nurturing and challenging baseball environment for girls of all skill levels.

Whether your player has played Rookie Ball before and is now looking to further develop her skills to become more competitive or is new to the game, we can’t wait to welcome her!

Space is limited so please register early!

UMPIRING

This is a great age to start umpiring and learning the game of baseball from a different perspective. A perfect part time job to balance with playing the sport along with school & any other activities. If your player is interested in umpiring this season, please contact our Umpire In Chief at uic@rybl.com.

COACHING VOLUNTEERS

RYBL is the best youth baseball association in Etobicoke because of the dedication of its volunteer coaches. Please consider expressing your interest in coaching or assisting in your player’s registration application.

All coaches and assistant coaches are supported with pre-season training and continuous group communication throughout the season to ensure success on the field. If you have any questions about coaching, please feel free to reach out!

PLAY WITH REQUESTS

Please note that only “reciprocal” play-with requests will be considered, per the play-with policy on the RYBL Website, if received prior to April 1.

This means that if your player would like to play with another child, he/she must select that player on their Registration, and vice-versa.

Multiple play-with requests and non-reciprocal play-with requests will NOT be considered.

Reciprocal play with requests will ONLY be considered for players registered for the same program (eg, spring/fall OR spring/summer/fall).

Thank you for your interest in RYBL. I am so excited to welcome you to the upcoming season. It’s going to be great!

Please reach out if you have any questions.
