For the most part, geographic boundaries for leagues in Kansas are determined by the USD boundaries. Babe Ruth Rule 0.01, paragraph 5
states: “State Commissioners shall approve geographical boundaries established by each league in conjunction with the District Commissioner in whose district that league exists and operates.
Appropriate maps or specification of boundary limitations must be certified by and filed with State Commissioners and submitted to Babe Ruth League, Inc. for final approval. A player must play within the
league’s geographical boundaries in which he resides. This is determined according to the legal residence of his parents or legal guardian. Waivers permitting a player to play outside of his
geographical boundaries are not permitted in Babe Ruth League. The only exception to the above would be if a player rostered on a Cal Ripken, 13-15 or 16-18 team moved outside of the league’s
geographical boundaries, he may finish his playing career in the respective division of that league. League geographical boundaries shall be subject to review and adjustment by the State or Regional
Commissioner established to eliminate competition of an undesirable nature but shall not be established to prevent healthy expansion of teams and leagues within any given area.”
Within a district, the areas for Cal Ripken League, 13-15, 16-18 and Softball Leagues may vary somewhat.
