About This Activity
This program is intended for players in kindergarten, 1st grade, and for 2nd graders who have yet to play Coach Pitch in the BPV program. This can translate to players with birth dates from 9/16/2017 to 9/15/2020.
Younger players can request to play, too. However, a season of tee-ball is suggested, with the separate city program an appropriate starting point for all players.
In this program, coaches pitch to batters. Players run the bases with some restrictions. Three outs or a run limit (whichever comes first) defines the inning. Games run six innings, with teams playing typically twice per week. At the discretion of the teams and field availability, practice time is available all week in April before games begin late April/early May, and normally on the weekends once games start.
Pending issues with inclement weather, the program is scheduled to finish before the July 4 holiday. The season ends with a postseason tournament and all-star game, where all of the league's participants earn an award.
Fields used: Hoover School, 23rd St. Field (next to the Botanical Garden at Middle Park), Tyler Hurd Field at Ed Scheck Park, and LeClaire's Veterans Memorial Complex.
Teams are grouped by school or special request. Also: LeClaire-only teams are a registration option on a first-come, first-serve basis.
