Divisions

Practice and Game times for all divisions to be determined.

Mini-Tad

The mini-tad level is the introduction to baseball. Players hit off a batting tee and we use soft, training baseballs. Every player is required to purchase their own glove, batters helmet and athletic supporter.  Equipment can be purchased at Chevy’s Source for Sports, Mission Sports, Sports Excellence, Walmart, Canadian Tire, Sport Chek… Spikes are not required but can be helpful.  A ball uniform will be provided. If you purchase your child a NEW glove, it is a great idea to try and get it broken in before the season starts. This will make it much easier for your child to learn to catch.

Teams are small to ensure maximum participation, and coaches spend lots of time teaching basic catching and throwing skills. Boys and girls who are five or six years old on Dec. 31 of the previous calendar year play in our minitad division.  There will be one practice and one game on weekday evenings per week. Practice days will not change and will be scheduled for Mondays or Tuesdays, we try to make it work for the families. Games will be on Wednesdays or Thursdays.  The season goes from mid April (weather providing) until the end of June. This division primarily plays at the Lombardy baseball facility near Bankhead school in central Kelowna.  There will be no schedule published until the second week of April 2010.  Register now to assure there is a spot on a team for your player. If you have any questions, please email Grant .

Tadpole

At this level, players hit off a pitching machine. Emphasis is on fun and skill development. Players who are seven or eight on December 31 of the previous year play tadpole. Practice days will not change and will be scheduled for Mondays or Tuesdays, we try to make it work for the families. Games will be on Wednesdays or Thursdays.  Players are provided with a team hat, t-shirt and baseball pants that they keep after the season is over There will be no schedule published until the second week of April 09.

Mosquito

Players who are 9 or 10 years old on December 31 of the previous calendar year are eligible to play in the Mosquito Division. Spring Training will begin sometime around the 5th of April.  Evaluations will be the following weekend.  The Season will start near the end of April. Your Child will have 1 practice, either Monday or Tues, per week.  Your Child will also have 1 game per week on either Wednesday or Thursday. There likely will also be 2 weekend tournaments (within the Kelowna area) during the house season which will end at the end of June.   Once the teams are made up the weekly practice will be a fixed time every week. The games will fluctuate. Please do not request that your son play on a friends team. To allow for fair play and a balanced league, the teams will be made up through a draft process following evaluations.
