Intro to Travel Baseball

New Canaan Travel Baseball has launched an introductory program for our 7-year old age group. The fundamental goal of this program is to understand the increased speed of the game and positional work in a controlled setting. 

Aspects like live pitching, baserunning, live at-bats, etc. all are incorporated into drills and practices throughout the winter to prepare these players for a competitive game setting.

The program is geared toward players seeking an advanced skill development platform and would be interested in being considered for the 7U summer travel team.

Eligible players must turn 7 on or before May 1.

The clinic will run for eight weeks at Bobby Valentine’s Sports Academy in Stamford on the following days/times:

• 1/11 (Saturday): 2-3p
• 1/18 (Saturday): 2-3p
• 1/25 (Saturday): 2-3p
• 2/1 (Saturday): 2-3p
• 2/8 (Saturday): 2-3p
• 3/2 (Sunday): 6-7:30p
• 3/8 (Saturday): 2-3p
• 3/15 (Saturday): 2-3p

The program also includes a Spring session from March through May with outdoor workouts and intrasquad scrimmages.

The Summer team(s) will be determined based on participation levels, ability and readiness to compete in game settings.
