We have transitioned to the Columbia Athletic Association (CAA).  The CAA is a non-profit organization currently responsible for the management of the baseball fields at the American Legion Memorial Park and Bolm-Schuhkraft Park.  As part of this transition, the Columbia Rookie League is the new Baseball Chapter under the CAA, continuing to include baseball, softball, Rookie Ball, Spring Training and umpire programs.

Columbia Rookie League is part of District 19, which includes Dupo, Freeburg, Millstadt, New Athens, Smithton, Valmeyer, and Waterloo and currently considering Belleville and Mascoutah. With this transition, teams will now be formed by grade and not by age.  Practices are scheduled to start in April 1.  Games are scheduled to start the week before Memorial Day and go through mid July, culminating in an ALL-STAR Game.

The move to District 19 has proven to further success of our organization as well as increased level of play.

Thank you,
Columbia Rookie League Board of Directors
