Rookie
Overview:
Our co-ed Rookie division (also sometimes referred to as Coach Pitch) is offered for players aged 7 and 8 as of August of the current year.
For the Spring season, the Rookie division will only play their games in Orleans against other Orleans teams. For the Summer Season, the Rookie Canadian team will play against other Rookie Canadian teams from across the city (this is called Interlock play). If numbers permit, our National teams will play their games in Orleans against other Orleans teams. Should we not get enough participants to make a minimum of 4 teams at the National level, then the National teams would also play interlock. In both seasons, Rookie is split into 2 levels: Canadian and National. This allows players to play against players at their similar skill and comfort level. .
The Canadian level is for more advanced players. The National level is for those players graduating from T-Ball but who are still developing basic baseball skills, or for players who are Rookie aged but new to the sport. The goal of both divisions is always Player Development and coaches in both divison must adhere to fair play rules.
During the Spring season, combined practice/game sessions will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays. Each session is a combined 30 minute practice followed by a game. During the summer, games are scheduled Monday thru Thursday
Typically the Rookie program will be run at the following parks:
Francois Dupont Park, Louis Perrault Park, Scala Park or Chapel Hill Park. Please check out our Venues page for locations of these parks
Sessions will begin at 6:00 PM and last for approximated 1.5 - 2 hours
Cost:
The cost for the Rookie program is $190
