Overview
Rookie 1
Registration
In Town Spring Baseball
HYAA offers baseball programs for five levels/ages, K-8 during the in town spring season. Teams from Hanover play against other Hanover teams in the same program level. Program levels/teams are divided along grade lines and birth dates, thus allowing for flexibility to group children with their peers.
Program eligibility is based on grade for in town baseball and grade for travel, per Little League requirements and recommendations. In town baseball is meant for everyone to play in an environment conducive for learning and having fun playing baseball. Travel baseball in the summer is more competitive and meant for more intense training and skill development. We encourage all kids to play and have fun and for parents and coaches to ensure a pleasant and safe environment for ALL kids to learn. Spring baseball is made for kids to have fun with their peers. HYAA encourages coaches to allow for kids to learn and play multiple positions during the season and to play kids equally based on attendance while keeping safety issues in mind. Parents are encouraged to participate in a positive manor and support their youngster while not disparaging other children.
Rookie 1 This level is for the first grade ball player only and kids younger than first grade will not be allowed to participate, no exceptions. At this level, parents pitch and catch behind the plate. ALL kids play the field and rotate positions. Rookie ball is played with outs, an infield, and an outfield. The focus is on basic fielding and batting until the batter makes contact with the ball. A tee can be used if necessary.
Equipment All players are required to wear helmets (provided by HYAA). Team shirts & hats are supplied by HYAA. Rubber cleats are advised.
Schedule
Baseball begins around April vacation. Players are typically contacted prior to April vacation and fields permitting, games and practices start near April vacation. Practices are held at the discretion of the coaches. Coaches assign their own practice schedules and are assigned practice times in mid April.The season for in town baseball extends from mid-late April to mid-late June. Players and parents will be notified which team they are on and given their team schedule by the coach about one week prior to the start of the season.
