Sandlot Saturday's

Sandlot Saturday's: ages 10-12

A great way for kids to get into the game by playing the game! We have created a youth baseball experience that both addresses the need for tailored baseball drills and instruction with consistent gameplay and lots of it! By limiting each session to 16 participants we can practice as a whole team working on the basics of fielding, throwing, pitching and hitting; often splitting off into smaller groups for more direct instruction from the coaches. Skills portion of the day will last an hour to an hour and a half, which leaves as much as 2 hours of actual game play. How do you play baseball with 16 players you might be asking? We have put together a 4v4v4v4 format that kids are sure to love! You have two teams of four playing defense, one team of four off-deck, one team of four at-bat, and lastly one Coach either pitching or catching as the 9th defender. The team of four who is off-deck is simply taking a break after batting. The team at-bat is at-bat, and they have 3 outs to score some runs just like real baseball! The two teams of four in the field have to work together to get outs against the team at-bat. When 3 outs are completed, the off-deck team is now in the field, the at-bat team is now off-deck, one of the two teams in the field is now at-bat, the remaining team in the field must play a new position as the team off-deck will be playing defense beside them. We play as many innings as we can play in the time allotted, everyone gets a final at-bat! This gets kids on average 5 to 6 at-bats per game! Your kids are going to be buzzing over this style of game, all while getting their confidence up, helping them enjoy the game by learning and playing!

We have a small staff of qualified baseball instructors comprised of college coaches and local college players. We are looking forward to working with your kids this fall! For love of the game.
