Blastball
Our first exposure to baseball. We'll work on coordination games, introduce throwing and catching all while having fun. Parents are strongly encouraged to participate with their child during the session.
Teeball
Teeball is only for kids that are currently in kindergarten. This is for safety and to ensure it is developmentally appropriate. If you child is still in preschool please try our great Blastball program.
Rookies
This season our first and second graders will be taking a few pitches, with coaches coming in after a few pitches. The goal of this is not to force lots of pitching, but rather to get the kids used to the idea of pitching so they are ready for Minors.
Minors & Majors
Minors is for our third and fourth graders. Majors is for fifth and sixth graders.
* Minors and Majors will play an end of season, 2 game minimum tournament to determine the season champions.
Developmental Approach
We take a very developmental approach to our recreational season. Every player will get opportunities at various positions as they explore and build a passion for baseball.
Training for the younger divisions will focus on teaching fundamentals like catching, throwing technique, batting, basic rules. In the older divisions we build on this base by adding pitching and stealing as well as more complicated baseball skills and knowledge.
