About Us
Rhinelander Youth Baseball & Softball (RYBS) serves boys and girls ages 4–14 living in the Rhinelander area. Our program provides opportunities for young athletes to learn, grow, and excel in baseball or softball—while building friendships, confidence, and lifelong skills.
Formerly known as Hodag Little League, RYBS remains a fully volunteer-run, nonprofit organization committed to creating a supportive, fun, and development-focused environment for all players. We believe in teamwork, sportsmanship, and giving every child the chance to succeed both on and off the field.
The Board of Directors is responsible for oversight of recreational leagues, travel leagues 8U - 14U, Babe Ruth, and hosting travel tournaments.
