Donelson Baseball/Rotary Park has Embarked on a New Era
Donelson Baseball has affiliated with Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth baseball. This affiliation brings new opportunities and improvements to Donelson Baseball, which will improve the sporting experience for all of the youngsters’ in Middle Tennessee. This new affiliation will not affect our regular season recreation league which is and always will be our main focus and concern. Most parents and players will not be aware of the change except for the fact that more players and families will be eligible to participate in our program than ever before. Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth baseball offers the opportunity for all children from Davidson, Sumner, Williamson and Wilson Counties to participate in the Donelson Baseball experience. These players will be offered participation in regular season, fall (instructional) season and All-star season play without restrictions or limitations. Donelson Baseball/Rotary Park will be participating in a program which boasts other programs, such as Brentwood, Franklin, Bellevue, Hendersonville, and Gallatin just to name a few. With this new affiliation we will be able to open up our boundaries, which have been restricted by Little League in the past. This new affiliation will allow all players to participate in one of the best baseball programs in Middle Tennessee. Donelson Baseball/Rotary Park strives to provide a quality and exciting program for all participants. We look forward to another wonderful and exciting season here at Rotary Park and look forward to welcoming any new Ball players to our exceptional program.

If you know a potential sponsor or would like more information please email: joseph.parker3@comcast.net
Great new site. I love it and the possibilities are endless.
Great site
I think that this offers a lot of opportunities for the league to better represent in All-Star play since there will not have to be and American and National league. At least this is what I understand. This will allow the league to pull the best of the best from all teams represented in the league in their respected age group. This should also increase the number of children to be able to play the great game of baseball in the best park around, Rotary Baseball Park!
I just signed up my 4yr old for spring ball. What ages will he be playing with? Just 4yr olds, or 5 and 6 or what. How is it structured there? Also, is it coach pitch or t-ball. If it is t-ball, is he required to hit from the t or can he be pitched to if we prefer? Thanks so much for any details you can provide. We are very excited about joining as we have many friends who have grown up at Rotary.
If you would like to advertise on our site you can become a sponsor and then your ads will be approved and prominetely placed on our site.
Something from one of our parents that I wanted to share:
Dear Mr. Bollinger:
I wish to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for 6 wonderful seasons at Donelson Little League. You took a chance on Christopher and made him an incredibly stronger person because of it. I can honestly say the teams and the coaches that have made a HUGE impact on Christopher and taught him that he could do so much more than anyone thought he could!!! I have seen and heard a lot of negatives but let me tell you that Joe and I have nothing but the humblest appreciation to you and the board of Donelson Little League. I would also like to acknowledge Mike Ramsey, Charles Hager, Jamie Holloway, Boo Manuel, Mike Westveer, Coach Kyle Frederick, all the Coaches (and players) on the 2008 Minor Brewers, and to the coaches from the 2005 Pony Devil Rays and the 2006 Minor Diamond Jaxx who gave Christopher so much confidence that he could stand up there and face his fears and be an important team player. With that being said, we say Goodbye at this time to an era in the Thordsen house. Christopher has decided that band and Boy Scouts are the important things he wishes to pursue and has decided to “Retire” from Little League. Patrick Thordsen who wishes to thank Coach Ray Adcock has decided baseball is not his thing and wishes to pursue Cub Scouts at this time. We love Donelson Little League and wish you all nothing but the greatest success in the future. Don’t be surprised if we show up for a visit, we still have many friends there. Thank you so much for everything.
Sincerely,
Joe, Helga, Christopher, and Patrick Thordsen
Hello, I am looking forward for my children to playing baseball this year. We are new to the area, we are from McComb, Ms. My oldest has been playing for four years now. I wanted to know if my 3 year who will be 4 on Feb. 12, 2010 will be able to play t ball or coach pitch, she is very active and I have waited for a long time to put her in activities she will enjoy. Please let me know so I register as soon as possible. I am excited for a new beginning.
Thank you,
Your 3, soon to be 4, year old will be able to play. Children play as the age they will be on or before May 1, 2010. You can sign up online or come to the sign ups.
Thank you
Gregg Bolinger
I have a 3 year old who loves baseball and is wanting to play. He will not be 4 until July. Is there any way he could play spring or fall ball or do you know of somewhere he could play?? Thanks for the help.
I was just informed yesterday that you had a 4 year old league. My son, Walker turned 4 in September and we would like to get him signed up. I would also be interested in coaching. I look forward to talking to someone.
Thank you,
DJ Denning
Do 5 year olds have to try out and then be drafted? If so, where is the schedule? What are the dates for that?
Thanks,
Carri
Only 7 year olds and up have to tryout. And of those only players ones that did not play last spring.
My son and nephew are both 4. We are interested in signing them up for t-ball, but would like them to be on the same team. This would make it much easier for grandparents and other family members to come to the games. Would you be able to accomodate this request?
Is it to late to sign up? And does it matter if I have a nine year old that has never played? Didn’t know how advanced these teams are.
It is not too late. Sign up ASAP, today if possible @ http://www.donelsonbaseball.com
I am currently working for Cash Express on Lebanon RD. in Hermitage and we would like to donate some cups for the concession stand if possible. Please give us a call @ 475-5100 and ask for Kristina or Tina. Have great day!
Call 747-3734 during the day and we can work out the details
Is it too late to sign up for 13-15 year olds(new player)
No, sign up @ http://www.donelsonbaseball.com
I just registered my 5 yr old today. How do I know if he is on a team?
The coach will contact you.
will practices start this week? Son on spring break, trying to decide if he can go out of town.
That is up to your coach.
I know the junior draft was last week. We haven’t heard from anyone concerning a coach, team or anything. Should I be concerned?
Give the coaches another couple of days and then call me and we can find out why you have not been contacted.
