What do you do in practice?  

Coaches develop and reinforce the major baseball fundamentals, and begin teaching team plays.  Fundamental include proper throwing mechanics, batting stance and hitting fundamentals, fielding skills, above-the-waist catching, and base running. 

We emphasize having fun together as a team, learning positive sportsmanship, and developing players’ confidence in their athletic abilities.

How do games work?   

The Minors Division is kid pitch.  The Minors division abides by the Cal Ripken rules.  

The rules are listed on NAA Home page under "Coaches Information"  

What do players need?  

A baseball glove & water bottle. Players should wear baseball pants.  Do not wear shorts - players in this division are taught to slide into the base.  We recommend players wear baseball cleats, but sneakers are acceptable.  The team shirt, hat, pants, belt & socks are distributed at the first team practice.  Players are welcome to bring their own baseball bats, batting gloves and helmets.

What about drop-offs?   

At this age group, each player must have a parent (or responsible adult) present for the duration of the practice and game.
