About us

RBI Baseball is a family owned business. We are not a franchise.

RBI started in 2015 because there was no indoor facility in northern Benton county for teams to practice. It was started FOR THE KIDS. We continue to grow so we can serve more kids; kids with our same love of the game that want to excel and be successful at the next level. We have teams for various age groups so as each athlete grows they can grow within one organization and have consistency in learning THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED!

We teach not only the physical skills but mental skills needed to succeed. We teach the athletes how to "self diagnose" issues so on the field they know how to make adjustments on their own. We teach each athlete how to be humble in victory and respectful in defeat. We teach them how to conduct themselves as young athletes. We teach them to respect authority. We teach them to respect all teams, players and coaches but fear none! #respectallfearnone

Letters & comments received regarding rbi teams and Coaches

Ron,

I hope you guys made it back to Bentonville safe and sound. I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed umpiring your games this past weekend in Southaven!

Over the years I have seen a gradual decline in character and sportsmanship from coaches, players, and fans throughout all of youth sports, as I am sure you have too. So for me, it's a real pleasure to see a team/organization that conducts and carries itself with class and integrity from the moment they enter the ballpark. From the coaching staff and the players, to the parents and fans, you guys really exhibited the kind of character and class that makes youth baseball/sports fun for a guy like me to be a part of. As a high school coach, it's very promising to know that there are still good coaches out there that coach for the right reasons and teach kids the right way!

I wish you and the RBI Baseball Organization nothing but the best in the future. Keep up the good work my friend! God Bless!

Hello,

I just wanted t let you know what a great group of kids you had at our hotel. We have a lot of teams cone and go. It isn't often that my breakfast staff hunts me down to tell me what a great ball team of kids we hosted. Both my front desk clerk, housman and breakfast attendant said your kids were excellent. They were very polite and mannerly. I just wanted to share this with you and your parents. You can be proud of your travel group. Please tell your team what a great impression they left on us.

Respectfully,
