Rookie Division Baseball (Machine Pitch)

• The Rookie division is open to players age 7-8 years old.
• Players are randomly placed on teams. Cranbrook Minor Ball Association will attempt to accommodate as many team mate and coach requests as possible, but they are not guaranteed. 
• Players will receive a team shirt and hat as their uniform. CMBA will provide equipment to each team including balls, catchers gear, and bats.  Players must bring their own glove, and batting helmet. Players must wear a protective cup, sweat pants/athletic pants/baseball pants, but no jeans or shorts are allowed.  Players may wear rubber cleats or running shoes.  
• Nights of play will be Monday & Wednesday from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. Teams will have 1 practice and 1 game per week throughout the season. Players are encouraged to arrive 15 to 30 minutes prior for a proper warm up. All practices and games will be played at Confederation Field.

The goal of Rookie Baseball  is to build on the foundational skills learned in Xball and to increase each player's ability to hit, throw, catch, and build a better awareness of game play. Our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and instructional environment for kids to learn the FUNdamentals and enjoy the game of baseball.
