This year the Rodeo Baseball Association (RBA)
has partnered with Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA)
to develop a positive character-building sports
environment for its participants that come from the
cities of Rodeo, Hercules, Vallejo, Crockett, Port Costa,
Tourmey, and surrounding communities. RBA believes
that competitiveness, respect, hard work, and honor
all work together to build strong athletes, and future
community leaders. The goal of the PCA is to teach
participants not only how to win, but also how to learn
about teamwork, discipline, respect and goal-setting
through their sports experience.

Welcome to Rodeo Pony Baseball
PLAY BALL
The 2010 season is coming to an end very soon. We had a great year with many new players as well as returning ones. All-Star teams are playing thier tournaments and the Mighty Mights are getting ready to display their tallents at Closing Cerimonies. This year the Closing Cerimonies will be sponsored by Valley Bible Church. Along with the awards presentation, BBQ, and the Mighty Mights game, Valley Bible will be promoting thier youth programs to our players and families.
Keep in mind that we have made many field upgrades, including the new Shetland field being use this year, to a renovated Snack Bar, and even this web site. All of the money the kids have collected during the season for the fundraisers is going to make Lefty Gomez the best baseball complex in the East Bay. RBA plans to make even more renovations and improvements for next season. The web page will keep you posted.
RBA would like to thank the Kids and the Parents for keeping this year exciting and positive. There are new members to the board this year and we are excited! I hope to have more voulenteers next year as well.The Contact Us page on this web site has been utilized more than we imagined. I am encouraging all of you to use that page to make comments to help us improve the RBA or even vent a frustration. As long as contact information is given, no request will go unanswered.
As you all know, RBA has joined forces with the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA). This is such a great tool for not only the coaches, but the parents as well. If you would like more information regarding the PCA program, please click on the PCA logo on the top of the page.
