<br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />December 15, 2016 <br /> <br />Hugo City Hall <br />14669 Fitzgerald Ave. N. <br />Hugo, MN 55038 <br /> <br />Dear Parks Commission, <br /> <br />We have an exciting new baseball/softball program for the Hugo Parks & Recreation Department to consider. The <br />program is called Lil Sluggers, a national child development program created to introduce children to the game of <br />baseball and softball. <br /> <br />Lil Sluggers is designed to prepare boys and girls for their journey into organized team play by improving and <br />developing their social and physical skills both on and off the field. Most of our classes consist of children ranging <br />from age 2 through age 5, but we also offer classes for children up to the age of 8. We use a proven curriculum <br />that teaches children the skills needed to learn the game of baseball and softball in a fun, exciting and positive <br />environment. <br /> <br />At Lil Sluggers, we pride ourselves in our ability to group kids in a way that will create the most fun environment, <br />while enabling them to learn the game of baseball and softball. Kids learn best when they are grouped with other <br />kids that have similar skill sets. Grouping the kids appropriately is one of our top priorities. Below is how the age <br />groups are broken out. <br /> 2 to 3 Year Olds <br />o The 2 to 3 year old groups need plenty of hand holding. We work on basic body control and <br />fundamentals. The curriculum is very basic, and we spend a lot of time on learning the bases and <br />how to use two hands to catch a ball. Some parent participation may be required per coach's <br />request. <br /> 3 to 4 Year Olds <br />o The 3 to 4 year old groups practice baseball/softball fundamentals and build toward improving <br />technique. We focus on keeping our eye on the ball while hitting, proper throwing motion and <br />recognizing the bases. In this group, kids begin to learn concepts like teamwork through <br />interaction with one another. <br /> 4 to 5 Year Olds <br />o The 4 to 5 year old groups are introduced to more advanced baseball/softball mechanics. We <br />gradually incorporate a mix of soft‐toss and live pitching as we progress through the session. Fun <br />fielding aids are used to reinforce using two hands to catch ground balls and fly balls. Proper use <br />of a baseball glove begins with this age group. <br /> 6 to 8 Year Olds (optional) <br />o The 6‐8 year old group is referred to as our advanced slugger program. Classes are designed on <br />building and reinforcing fundamental baseball/softball muscle memory. We incorporate a lot of <br />live pitching and advanced drill work with this age group. <br /> <br />Lastly, I put together proposed class schedules to give an idea of how we run the programs. Option 1 is an 8‐week <br />program, where a player signs up for a specific day/time which remains consistent throughout the course of the <br />Katie Schober <br />www.lilsluggersstpaul.com <br />lilsluggers.stpaul@gmail.com <br /> (651) 260‐2951
