CLINIC
Baseball Clinic teams are for boys ages 6 and 7 years. The 7 year olds in
the clinic program typically have not previously played baseball.
This is a coach pitch league with no umpires.
The Clinic Program is intended to be instructional. It is a wonderful
introduction not only to the sport of baseball, but also to the concepts of
team play, playing fair and good sportsmanship.
This is a "coach pitch" league with no umpires. The rules are a little
different from the older baseball teams, but the enjoyment and benefits of
learning are the same.
The Clinic teams generally play games on Saturday mornings and early
afternoons, with games being scheduled during the week only when necessary.
Participation trophies are awarded to all participants.
7/8
These teams are for 7 year olds with at least one year playing experience
and all 8 year olds.
The instructional aspect continues at this level, but player pitching is
gradually introduced.

scheduled on the weekends only when necessary.
Participation trophies are awarded to all participants.
9/10, 11/12, and 13/15
These teams are for all boys 9 years and older.

in all age groups.
