Minimum Expectations of our Players:
Expectations build year to year. For example, a 13U player should also be able to do everything a 9U-12U player is expected to do.
9U/10U - Be a good teammate. Be able to throw accurately and catch consistently while learning the basics of how to set up and where to be on the field before, during, and after each play. Understand that team practices alone will not be enough for you to reach your potential. Players and parents should coordinate with their coach to establish a plan to work on their own, or train with private instructors to get additional repetitions outside of team practices.
11U/12U - Emphasis on being athletic while learning and developing baseball specific fundamentals and skills. Begin learning the importance of the mental game and what it means to develop an approach. Begin to understand the difference between quality versus quantity when practicing with the team and on your own.
13U/14U - Begin learning how to train properly on your own and maximize quality reps outside of team practices. Begin to understand metrics and how to train to improve them. Begin to understand how to workout, eat, sleep, and recover properly.
15U/16U - Learn to stay focused and train properly and consistently through the challenges of being a high school student athlete. By this point, athletes should have a strong understanding of how to train, workout, eat, sleep, and recover.
17U/18U - Be able to apply everything you've learned in the years prior while getting incrementally better at all aspects of the game on and off the field.
