Storm Black

The Arlington Storm Black program is the top level of competition in Storm Baseball. All Storm Black teams are eligible to participate in the Cal Ripken Babe Ruth Trail, which could include participation in the Virginia Cal Ripken Babe Ruth District 7 Championship, the Virginia Cal Ripken Babe Ruth State Championship, the Cal Ripken Babe Ruth Southeast Regional and the World Series.

Storm Black also participates in other highly competitive tournaments, some of which will require travel. The 11 and 12 year old Storm Black teams play on a 50/70 field with full baseball rules. The 9 and 10 year olds play on a 46/60 field. The 8 year olds play in machine pitch tournaments.

Players will be expected to be available for practice up to six days per week, including weekend tournaments, from mid-May through early August, when Storm Black teams take an end of summer break.
