Rally Cap (Turning 4 or 5 in 2024)

The Rally Cap program is an initiative to enhance players’ and coaches’ first experience with the game. The program helps teams teach players the five FUNdamentals of baseball in a fun and safe environment. Players have the opportunity to perform different tasks in order to earn a colored Baseball Canada Rally Cap. Cap colours correspond with various levels of achievement. The program is designed for young baseball players.

The Rally Cap season is 10 weeks, one 75 minutes session per week.  Program will skip long weekends, unless make up dates are needed for rainouts.

T-Ball (Turning 6 in 2024)

T-Ball is our introduction to baseball and where we start teaching the basics of the game. Time will be spent practicing basic skills; running the bases, hitting, throwing and catching. The other half of the time will involve a game in which the batter hits from a tee and runs the bases.

Two teams will be on the same diamond. The first part will be a practice followed by playing a game each week. Score is not kept as the focus will be on basic baseball skills, team play, sportsmanship and having FUN.
