Announcements

Uniform info

The league provides jersey tops and team hats. Players need:

  • Grey baseball pants
  • Carolina blue belt and socks
  • Baseball glove (10"–11", synthetic breaks in faster)
  • Cleats (soccer cleats work fine — no advantage to the baseball toe cleat at this age)

Equipment your player needs

  • Required: Baseball glove (10"–11"), cleats, grey pants, carolina blue belt & socks
  • Optional: Personal helmet, baseball bat, batting gloves, baseball bag
  • Bat tip: Buy a bat your son can swing under control. If he sways from the weight, it's too heavy.
  • Bat rules: All bats must bear the USABat logo. BPF – 1.15 bats are prohibited. Max barrel: 2⅝ inches. See official Little League bat rules

Season format

The first half of the season is coach-pitch (coach throws up to 7 pitches per at-bat). After mid-May, we'll transition to a hybrid format where a teammate pitches first (up to 4 pitches), then the coach finishes if needed. Players who show interest will get extra opportunities to learn how to pitch.

Volunteers needed!

We need help in two areas this season:

  • Team Parent: Organize the snack schedule and plan the end-of-year team party. This is a great way to help the team without needing to know baseball!
  • Practice Hands: Each week at practice, we run different skill stations. Having extra adults to oversee a station allows coaches to float and give individualized instruction. No baseball experience needed — we'll tell you exactly what to do.

Spring break

No practice the week of April 7–9. We'll pick back up Tuesday, April 14.

What we're working on

Each week we'll add a new skill for you to practice at home with your player. All you need is a glove, a baseball, and a few minutes in the yard!

Week 1 — March 24

Catching with two hands: Toss a baseball underhand from about 8–10 feet. Remind him to "high-five" the ball with his glove (fingers up above the waist, fingers down below), then squeeze with both hands — "alligator chomp!" 10–15 catches is a great session.

Week 2 — March 31

The 4-seam grip: Hold the baseball across the seams with fingertips (not in the palm), thumb underneath. Before each throw, "show me the grip." Throw to a target from 10–15 feet. Focus on accuracy, not distance.

More skills will be added each week as the season progresses.
