RALLY CAP 8U
Recreational baseball for players who will be age 7 or 8 in this calendar year.
Utilizing all the skills and rules learned from Rally Cap 6U, the 8U level of baseball introduces league play. Coaches pitch and provide adult catchers for all games. Skills are taught using the Baseball Canada Rally Cap 8U program.
Great start for players who are new to baseball. Also for players who have played before but haven’t quite mastered some of the basics (infrequently catches a ball when thrown to them; infrequently catches a fly ball when thrown or hit to them; doesn’t make consistent contact when a ball is thrown to them at bat; throwing is a bit erratic).
The field for all regular season games is the Tantallon Woods field. They play one or two games a week. There is no set night – they play on random nights. Depending on registration numbers, Prospect Minor Baseball has played in our 8U League – this means each team may travel to Prospect for one away game.
A practice session is held just before each game.
Games are not played on Saturdays – teams may choose to use this day to practice. All evening games start at 6:00pm. There may be two games scheduled on Sundays 4:00pm and 6:00pm.
Games run about an hour and a half.
The season will start the 2nd week of June and runs until late August.
Every year we try to have all girls teams – should you have a daughter who would rather play on a team with other girls, just let us know.
You have to purchase a glove and a helmet.
There are NO playoffs in Rally Cap 8U.
