Afternoon Scrimmage (Day 2 ) 6 Innings: 4 Teams are split up and decided by age and ability, 10 players per team. There are two games being played at the same time on different fields. Instructors are the Coaches. These scrimmages last approximately 2 hrs.

Typical day ends with a review of what each player learned and a “life lesson” story!

Note: Each player will be placed into a group which is identified by a certain color wristband. Members of each individual group will be based on age or ability. During the first day it is typical to be placed into a group based solely on age, although a player may be switched from one group to another upon the instructor’s discretion. Teams chosen to scrimmage will be based on ability as well for safety reasons.

Drop Off & Pick Up: Since most parents work, you can drop your child off as early as 8:30 AM and pick them up no later than 3:30 PM. Please try and arrive on time each morning so that we can warm up together as a team. Also please remember to wear appropriate baseball attire including a hat!
