Minor Division (6 Year Olds)
Philosophy & Objectives:
The basic philosophy introduced at the 5 year old level remains unchanged; that is to promote an environment of fun and enjoyment first. It is our intention to introduce game skills and learning in a way that will be almost transparent to the player. This level continues to function in a completely non-competitive environment. No score or statistics of any kind are kept and coaches are again expected to play all players in all positions regardless of their individual skill levels. Our objective is to expand the player's understanding of game rules, basic position recognition and to introduce base running concepts throughout the season.
Teach requirements of each defensive position
Learn proper throwing techniques
Learn proper running posture
Learn hitting concepts - learn to see the pitched ball
