FARM / ROOKIE LEAGUE MISSION

Farm / Rookie league baseball is all about getting the kids to hold the ball properly, give teammates a target to throw at, basic mechanics and fundamentals.  This is a great age to get the kids practicing in the backyard or at a local park.  There should never be glove far away while the kids are outside.  Get out in the yard and toss the ball around!

Each child will learn:

• Throwing Skills: Aim-Step-Throw, learning to play catch.
• Catching Skills: Correct positioning of the glove, stopping the ball (grounders), proper body positioning.
• Batting Skills: Level swing and contact, batting stance, bat grip and body balance.
• Game Skills: Base advancement, tag play vs force out, where to throw the ball and when, and basic positional knowledge.
