Back Again in 2019 is special format for our beginners in Rookie Ball (4-5YO)
Our Rookie Ball Program is designed as a low key introduction to baseball for 4 & 5 year old players just starting out. We execute station based practices to teach the fundamentals of baseball in a fun way with lots of movement and variety. We offer weekly games on Saturdays that start out as traditional Tee-Ball and can advance along with individual players into a hybrid of some coach toss and tee ball. We have small rosters which helps in keeping the pace of games quick and increasing opportunities for infield play in order to keep players interested and engaged. Typical schedule is 1 practice and 1 game per week.

See FAQ's for more information on what equipment your child will need and bat requirements.
