RBI Launches First Girls Baseball Divisions in 2026
A groundbreaking step forward for youth baseball in North Texas.
Rec Baseball Innovations (RBI) is proud to announce the official launch of Girls Baseball Tournament Divisions, beginning in North Texas in 2026. This new initiative reflects our commitment to creating opportunities for every athlete who wants to play, develop, and compete in real baseball — regardless of gender.
For far too long, girls who love baseball have been told that their only path is softball. At RBI, we believe otherwise. We believe girls deserve a place where they can sharpen their skills, compete on equal footing, and experience the same excitement, development pathway, and high-quality tournament environment that boys enjoy.
Why Girls Baseball?
The number of girls playing baseball has grown significantly across the country, yet opportunities remain extremely limited. Many young athletes are forced to switch to softball due to lack of team options, league pathways, or tournament support.
RBI aims to change that.
Our Girls Baseball Divisions will:
- Provide a true baseball experience using standard baseball rules, fields, and equipment
- Offer age divisions from 6U through 14U, with future expansion planned
- Deliver well-organized, professional tournaments consistent with RBI’s standards
- Create a supportive environment where girls can develop, compete, and thrive on the diamond
- Build a foundation for regional and national growth of girls baseball
Our long-term vision includes establishing RBI Girls Baseball as the premier developmental and competitive platform for female athletes nationwide.
A Message From RBI
“At RBI, we believe every athlete deserves the opportunity to pursue the sport they love. Girls who want to play baseball should have access to real baseball — not be redirected simply because of tradition or limited options. This is the future, and we are proud to lead the way.”
Expanding Nationwide
While North Texas will be the launch point, our goal is to expand RBI Girls Baseball Divisions to additional cities and states over the next several years. As interest grows, RBI will add more events, larger seasonal championships, and even a Girls Baseball National Series.
This is more than a new division — it’s the start of a movement.
We Want Your Input
Building this new division the right way matters. RBI welcomes input from:
- Coaches
- Parents
- Current or former female baseball players
- Organizations promoting girls in sports
- Community partners
Your insights will help shape formats, scheduling, locations, and long-term development plans.
History Starts in 2026
The launch of RBI Girls Baseball marks a major milestone for our organization, for North Texas, and for the future of the sport. We can’t wait to see the first generation of RBI girls take the field — swinging hard, competing fiercely, and showing the world that baseball is for everyone.
Welcome to a new era. Welcome to RBI Girls Baseball.

About Rec ball Innovations (RBI)
Who We Are
We are a new tournament organization built to cater to the "rec ball" families. We are based in Kemp for fall, and we are looking to expand into other communities. We are not in direct competition with the other tournament organizations. We consider RBI to be complementary to these other organizations. As we will graduate teams up through our system and into the true "select/travel" level.
Our Mission
At Rec Baseball Innovations (RBI), our mission is to provide youth baseball players with a fun, competitive environment where they can showcase their skills, develop their abilities, and grow their passion for the game. We are committed to delivering a tournament experience that matches the excitement and professionalism of high-level select baseball — including quality facilities, organized scheduling, and knowledgeable officiating.
We believe in creating a positive and memorable experience for every player, coach, and family by promoting sportsmanship, teamwork, and respect on and off the field. Our focus is on continuing to grow the game of baseball while increasing opportunities for all athletes to learn, progress, and enjoy the sport they love.
All RBI tournaments in the fall will be open events, welcoming all levels of recreational-based teams to compete and experience the RBI standard.
Future Plans
RBI is committed to expanding opportunities for recreational baseball players while elevating the excitement and quality of every event. Our future plans include:
Collector Ring Series Spring and Summer 2026
A special lineup of tournaments where teams can earn exclusive, limited-edition championship rings. New collectible designs will be released throughout the year, creating a exciting series that players won’t want to miss.
RBI Summer Nationals June 2026 (Midlothian)
A major regional event bringing together rec and rec-select teams to compete for a national-style championship experience — top facilities, high-energy atmosphere, and competitive baseball.
RBI Rec World Series — July 2026 (Waxahachie Sports Complex)
This milestone event will deliver a true World Series environment for rec athletes: big crowds, custom gear, and unforgettable moments.
Geographic Expansion
RBI is growing! We will be expanding into more communities across North Texas — including Cleburne, Duncanville, DeSoto, and McKinney — to bring the RBI experience closer to more families and players.
Our Expertise
Our team at RBI consists of knowledgeable and experienced baseball players and coaches who are enthusiastic about the game. Over 30 years in the game at all levels from rec league baseball to elevated level select/travel.
