Little Rookies Baseball Program! Ages 4-7!

Posted by HF Administration on March 14, 2011 – 3:31 pm
Filed under HF Features, News

The key for any young (or older!) baseball player’s success is to have fun!  Of course, we all have more fun when we are good at something.  The Little Rookies will learn the basics of baseball, including the positions, basic strategies, basic mechanics, baseball history and appreciation (including weekly baseball card giveaways!) and much more!  We want the combination of playing on their little league team and being a Little Rookie to result in young players falling in love with the game of baseball. The program will be held on Sunday evenings from 4-5pm in the new Headfirst Facility in Pleasanton. The program will run in Jan/Feb. with a start date of January 8th.

AGES: 4+ – 6+

WHAT: General Rules – The game can be very confusing for a beginner so we will teach and reinforce the rules.

Batting – Before Little Rookies can have a “hole” in their swing, they will learn to have a technically sound swing and learn to love hitting!

Throwing – Like batting, the Rookies will learn to throw properly, including having good footwork.

Fielding – We will teach the fundamentals of the infield and outfield, including glove and footwork.

Baserunning – Scoring is obviously an important part of the game so teaching good baserunning strategy from a young age will increase enjoyment of the game.

WHEN: Starts on Sunday, January 8th from 4:00 – 5:00

WHERE: HF Bercovich Baseball Acceleration Facility, 7075 Commerce Cir. Unit E, Pleasanton

COST: $110 per month (four sessions), or $200 for two months

Please call 510-757-7852 or email mji0209@aol.com for more information or to sign up.
