Beginner Classes For Ages 2 Thru 8

Classes are the core of the Lil Sluggers curriculum. Classes are for kids just beginning their journey into baseball and are designed to be fast paced and fun. Kids will rotate in small groups through several drills designed to improve specific skills. Age appropriate equipment is used to teach beginner classes for ages 2 thru 8.

Coach-Pitch Instructional Leagues For Ages 4 Thru 8

The Coach-Pitch Instructional Leagues are designed to prepare kids for Little League and "real" baseball game settings. Players will use gloves, metal bats and level 5 safety baseballs. Kids must first complete a Lil Sluggers Class or have played in a local league. You can choose to practice once during the week and play in a game on Saturdays (double-play), or just come once per week for practice or a game.

The objective of the league is to reinforce the fundamental skills learned in Lil Sluggers classes and apply them into a real game setting. Kids are instructed how to handle all of the different situations that arise during a game, like force outs, tagging up, etc.... All of this is done in an exciting environment that will help the kids develop a real love for baseball.

Advanced Classes For Ages 5 Thru 9

Advanced Classes are for kids ages 5 thru 9, that have completed several Lil Sluggers Classes, Coach-Pitch Instructional Leagues, or have played organized tee ball or little league. Level 5 safety baseballs, bats and gloves are used. Classes are designed to work on building and reinforcing fundamental baseball muscle memory. Each week will consist of 4 to 6 drills focusing on one phase of the game.
