Rally Cap 9U
Recreational baseball for players who will be age 9 in this calendar year.
Rally Cap 9U is for 9 year old players. There is also an opportunity for 8 year old players to be evaluated to move into this division. Evaluation will happen in May and dates will be shared via email to those interested.
You have to purchase a glove and helmet. Boys should start to wear a cup.
Most players in 9U can stop most ground balls hit at them; can catch most balls when thrown at them; can catch most fly balls when thrown or hit to them; can throw a ball with reasonable accuracy and speed; can hit a baseball when a good pitch is thrown to them at bat and has a basic understanding of baseball (scoring, outs, positions, etc.).
Pitching machines are used during game play (fed by umpire) and each team provides their own catcher (a player who wears full catching gear).
Teams in this division will play against themselves. All regular season games (1-2 games/week) are played at the Highland Park field in Hammonds Plains. (Sunday – Friday) Teams may also practice once a week at a set time on the weekend.
The season starts the 2nd week of June. Playoffs will be during the last two weeks of August. Championship weekend is Late August – Joan Lenihan Field, Bedford, NS.
Schedules will be released after the long weekend in May.
