Rookie League
Rookie League, which is a bridge between t-ball and fast pitch baseball, is an organized league designed to teach youth, ages 9-12, the fundamentals of baseball. One of the unique features of this program is that participants hit live pitches from a pitching machine that always throws strikes. The primary goals of Rookie League are to increase the number and quality of grassroots level baseball programs, increase participation, and provide a fun environment for beginning players. Program benefits include building confidence of members and attracting new members to the Club.

This national youth basketball initiative, launched by the NBA and the WNBA, connects players, parents and coaches. The program, which is supported by an all-star Advisory Council as well as Boys & Girls Clubs of America and other national youth organizations, provides unique information within its training guide curriculum. Subjects include advice for coaches from the first practice to the final game, ideas on creating a positive and fun environment for youth and tips for players ranging from skills to sportsmanship.
