Baseball

Welcome RVC Baseball Fans,

golden-eagle-baseballThere is a new wave of excitement and enthusiasm surrounding the RVC Baseball Program, as well as the entire Athletic Department. There are many reasons, but a few of the main ones include…the creation of the Athletics Task Force, the hiring of Dr. Maneval as Athletic Director, the upgrades to this website, the renovation of the PEC, the improvements to the baseball field, the addition of numerous items of baseball equipment, and finally, the help from the area high school baseball coaches, leading to the successful recruiting of many quality baseball players for Rock Valley College.

With these changes in place, the RVC Baseball program is now a strong competitor in Region IV, and has given the Rockford community one more thing to be proud of.

Please join us, and stay informed, as we continue to improve the RVC Baseball Program.

Dave Dettman – RVC Head Baseball Coach




Outlook & Goals for the 2010 Spring Season

We have just completed our Fall 2009 Season, and are very optimistic for the upcoming Spring 2010 Season. We have seven returning sophomores, all of whom were in our starting lineup as freshmen last year. We also have a very good recruiting class of freshmen and transfers who will give us the depth we need to be competitive.

Our top goal for 2010 is to win our Division III Regional Tournament and get to Tyler, TX - the site of this years’ 2010 NJCAA JUCO Division III World Series.
Second, we are aiming at having a .500 win / loss % during the regular season. A difficult task, when competing against mostly D1 and D2 baseball teams.

Finally, we are determined to establish an excellent relationship with the Rockford community, especially the area high school baseball programs, as well as the many youth baseball programs. We feel strongly that this is one of the most important tasks in establishing a strong community college baseball program here in the Rockford area.
