General pre-season practice sessions for 7-8 Rec Baseball starts early April. We will try to schedule pre-season practices on Wed, Fri and Sat/Sun. Pre-season practice concludes the Wednesday before Opening Day.
Regular season games and practices will begin on Opening Day, after which we will be playing/practicing on Wednesdays and Fridays this year at 6pm with a 5:30 arrival time at the field for players and coaches.
Players will be supplied with a t-shirt and hat. Baseball pants, sneakers or plastic/rubber spikes should be worn. All players need a baseball glove that fits and is soft enough for the player to squeeze shut. (There are a lot of glove-softening products. We recommend
Hot Glove treatment.)
7-8 Baseball will conclude with games on Saturday in mid-June at 11:45am followed by a pizza party and trophy distribution at 1:30 at the pavilion.
All bats for this league must be stamped with the USA or USSSA labels and cannot exceed 2 5/8" barrel diameter. Any length-to-weight ratio is allowed. Bats will be supplied, but players may use their own, as long as it conforms with the above standards.
