Back-to-Baseball Camps
All Players:
Refresh your baseball skills, get ready for
tryouts, meet friends, and have some fun!
Our annual Back-To-Baseball camps are
scheduled for the weekend of January 12 and 13,
and are FREE to all registered players.
This years camps are using a brand new format, hosted by St. Francis High School and Varsity Head Coach Mike Oakland.
Bronco and Pony Divisions (11-14): In 2007 we offered Pony players a high school-caliber advanced skills camp that got rave reviews from participants. We're expanding this camp for 2008 to include Bronco players. If you skipped our camps last year because they weren't challenging enough, then definitely come out this year, you won't be disappointed! The camp is held from 8:30am to 4:30pm, at St. Francis High School.
If you just can't wait until January, check out the winter holiday clinics being offered by St. Francis, Mitty, Stanford, ASA, and SCU.
Pinto-2 through Mustang (8-10):
This camp
emphasises fun, fundamentals, and getting back into shape after the long winter
break. Come either day, or come both! The camp is held from 8:30am to 4:30pm, at
St. Francis High School.
Shetland and Pinto-1 (5-7):
Camps are arranged separately with each team.
Your coach will give you information about this once teams have been formed.
Tryouts
What if it Rains?Camps and Tryouts WILL be conducted in a light rain. If in doubt, check the homepage or call our Hotline at (650)568-1044. |
Tryouts are required for all players who register for Mustang, Bronco, Pony, and Colt Divisions, and the Pinto-2 Club Team. There are no Tryouts for Shetland and Pinto players (teams are assembled by the Division Director).
The purpose of tryouts is to evaluate players skills so that we can:
- ensure that the player is signed up for the appropriate division;
- form balanced teams;
- qualify players who have signed up to play on a Club Team.
Tryouts consist of each player doing a short timed run,
hitting 5-7 balls pitched from a pitching machine, fielding 3-4 fly balls and
making a throw to second base, and fielding 3-5 ground balls at shortstop and
making a throw to first base. Mustang Division tryouts also include an optional
station where players throw 5-10 pitches to an adult catcher. The total tryout
process takes about an hour. Please bring a hat and a glove and wear
appropriate baseball attire. Unless the league informs you otherwise, you
may assume that your child will play in the division that you request on your
application. In some cases, based on tryout results, safety considerations, or
available roster openings, the League will call you to suggest an alternate
placement for your child.
