Lil’ Sluggers is a child and skill developmental baseball program for children 3-5 years. With a 10:1 player to coach ratio players will receive plenty of one-on-one attention as they explore their potential in the target areas of baseball. Lil’ Sluggers’ curriculum focuses on the technical skill work of baseball, such as hitting, throwing, field positioning, base running, and teamwork, all the while allowing coaches to adapt instruction to individual player differences. This means that within a group framework, each player receives personalized lessons that move the player to that player’s own next level of expertise, so that they become more confident, skillful, and valuable players to their current and future teams.
MINORS
3-4 Years
The Minors curriculum is designed to have the children continue their baseball experience in a fun environment that also reinforces the fundamentals of the game. Children will learn simple base running, the proper stance and swing for hitting, how to point, step and throw, and how to field with two hands. They will also learn simple game situations and continue to develop hand/eye coordination, agility and social skills such as teamwork.
