Kids learn best when they are grouped with other kids that have similar skill sets. Grouping the kids appropriatly is one of our top priorities. Below is how thew age groups are broken out. • 2 to 3 Year Olds: This group needs plenty of hand holding. We work basic body control and fundamentals. The curriculum is very basic, and we spend a lot of time on learning the bases and how to use two hands to catch the ball. Some parent participation may be required per coach’s request. • 3 to 4 Year Olds: The 3 to 4 year old groups practice baseball/ softball fundamentals and build toward improving technique. We focus on keeping our eye on the ball while hitting, proper throwing motion and recognize the bases. In this group, kids begin to learn concepts like team work through interaction with one another. • 4 to 5 Year Olds: The 4 to 5 year old groups are introduced to more advanced baseball/softball mechanics. We gradually incorporate a mix of soft-toss and live pitching as we progress through the session. Fun fielding aids are used to reinforce using two hands to catch ground balls and fly balls. Proper use of a baseball glove begins with this age group. • 6 to 8 Year Olds: The 6 to 8 year old group is referred to as our advanced slugger program. Classes are designed on building and reinforcing fundamentals baseball/softball muscle memory. We incorporate a lot of live pitching and advanced drill work with this age group.
