Rookie Ball and 8U League:  Basic Fundamentals

As we begin the season, it is important to spend some time with your player to reinforce some of the fundamentals taught at the fields.  

Throwing:

Point the glove at the target.

Step toward the target.

Throw to the target.

Throwing is overhand.  

Point-Step-Throw

Glove

The bigger and softer the glove, the better.  One that your child can squeeze with his thumb and hand.  The thumb and pinky of the glove should come together.  Small gloves give them little or no chance to catch a ball.  New gloves that are not broken in are also difficult to catch the ball.  

Catching

We want to have the kids understand that fingers up to start.  Try and use 2 hands to catch the ball.

Make sure you have a softer ball when teaching them the catching fundamentals.

Hitting

Hands together on the bat.

Know whether your child is a left-handed or right-handed hitter.

When throwing pitches to your child-be on one knee and have them follow the ball.  This takes time and practice.  It is okay to swing and miss.  

Use a bigger ball to allow them to hit something bigger than a regular-sized baseball.  Makes it more fun for them.

Parents:  

Welcome to our baseball league.  Every spring, we have a baseball season for youth.  This league is designed for growth and development.  

Before you register, please read below and locate the league that best fits your player.  Our league has made a few changes, and if your player fits a certain skill set we want to encourage you to place him in that specific league, regardless of his grade level.  

Rookie League

Primarily this league is designed for upper level 4K and kindergarten.  The goal is to introduce basic concepts.  Learning to throw, play catch with a partner, run the bases, learn how to hit, and have fun with their teammates.    This program is an introduction to specific skills and learn how to play baseball in small groups.  

8U League

This league is designed for Kindergarten through 2nd grade.  Players are assigned to a specific team with a coach.  The objective of this league is to continue to learn and enhance the fundamentals of the game.  Coach-pitch is used for games.  During games, each team will bat their order.  Defensive positions will be changed throughout the innings played.  We strive for kids to learn how to play some infield and outfield.  Our goal for this league is to continue to have fun and to enjoy coming to the ballpark. 

10U League        

This league is designed for 2nd-4th grade.  This league has more depth to learning how to play baseball.  Each player will be placed on a specific team.  We will primarily use coach-pitch, but we will introduce regular pitching to those who are ready.  We will begin with everyone hitting and learning positions, and eventually develop into playing games with 3 outs.   Players will rotate positions.  We want to encourage players to continue their growth and develop better skill sets as they move to this league.

12U League

This league is designed for those ready to play more of a traditional youth baseball game.  Players from 3rd to 6th grade are eligible to participate in this league; if they are ready.  Players will be assigned to a team.  Primarily, we want to have pitchers for every team.  3 outs per inning.  Defensively, some players will rotate.  Our goal is to have 4 solid teams who are ready to play real baseball.
