Is a program desigend to provide a fun and exciting environment for kids to play indoor baseball.  It is a structured program for Little League aged players between 6 and 12 years old.  The games will take place on our  17,500 square foot field and will be officiated by Academy staff but coached by the players.  The kids will organize themselves and rotate positions every inning as Academy staff supervises and umpires the games.

THE TEAMS:
Each team can have a minimum of 7 players and maximum of 9 on their roster. Rosters can be filled with you friends or individuals and small groups will be partnered with others to create a team.

There will be 3 Divisions of Sandlot Baseball:
6 & 7 year olds
8 & 9 year olds
10 to 12 year olds

THE GAMES:
The games themselves will be timed (1 hour) not played in a 6 inning format.  This will keep the pace of play fast and each inning exciting.  A conventional 3 out format will be followed as well as "Sandlot" rules introduced.  The Academy staff member will throw each pitch using a special indoor baseball designed for safety.  There will be no walking in order to create an "offensive" environment!  All players present will play a defensive position with the catchers choosing to receive the ball from the pitcher wearing a catcher's helmet or standing off to the side away from the hitter.

The games being played by the 6 & 7 year old division will have 2 Academy staff members assigned to each game.  They will take an extremely active role as coaches to ensure all the players have a fun and exciting experience each week.  Individual statistics will be kept and updated each week.
