Being a part of the RBI Program means new forms for players and volunteers. Please check the Apply – Register page for all the new forms. Thanks.
We are glad to announce that Durham Triple Play Long Ball will be under the umbrella of R.B.I. which is a Major League program. Every player in our program will be an R.B.I. player. Please visit the RBI website to see all the wonderful opportunities they provide.
The staff will be attending training sessions for new participants in March 2014. The good news is we are already operating according to their guidelines, so it will be an easy transition.
What does this mean for you?
We will need a copy of player’s physical (which you should have if he played sports in school, if not please get one from your physician. Copy of birth certificate if we don’t have it and insurance fee of $25 per player which is an R.B.I. requirement. This fee must be paid even if you have your own insurance as it is mandatory secondary insurance that each participant must purchase. You can’t participate in RBI/ Durham Triple Play without this insurance. This is for new and returning players. Please collect this information and put aside for registration 2014 if your son plans to return next year. We will send out email updates and reminders about registration and tryouts once the dates have been set.
In the past we were able to wait for this information, now we have to have it before we can let your son participate in team practices and season games.
Thank you for taking the time to read this email and we look forward to working with you to make this program even better.

There is an error in the article. The fifth paragraph incorrectly identifies the Duke head baseball coach as Josh Jordan. It was actually Chris Pollard who spoke at the opening ceremonies. Thanks Coach!
