The objective of the North East Little League / Grape City RBI shall be to implant firmly in the children of the community the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and respect for authority, so that they may be well adjusted, stronger and happier children and will grow to be good, decent, healthy and trustworthy citizens.
To achieve this objective, the Local League will provide a supervised program of baseball, softball, tee ball and challenger (disabled program). All Directors, Officers and Members shall bear in mind that the attainment of exceptional athletic skill or the winning of games is secondary, and the molding of future citizens is of prime importance.
North East Little League / Grape City RBI is a youth baseball and youth softball program which also hosts several summer tournaments. We are affiliated with Little League and MLB's Nike RBI Program! Our RBI affiliated programs have NO residency requirements and are open to children from ANY school district. Children from across Erie County, Chautauqua County, and beyond are welcome to participate.
2026 RBI Divisions- TeeBall (4/5/6), Coach Pitch A/AA Baseball & Pixie Softball (6/7/8), Player Pitch AAA Baseball (8/9/10), Junior Baseball (13/14/15). We will run other divisions through RBI pending enrollment and team count. RBI divisions start games a bit later when the weather is better, play more regular season games than LL divisions and have playoffs. The Junior Baseball All Star team will play at PNC Park home of the Pittsburgh Pirates for the RBI tournament in July!
