The Rally Cap Program is baseball's initiation program and is designed to enhance players' and coaches' first experience with the game. The program helps teach players the five FUNdamentals of baseball in a fun and safe environment. Players have the opportunity to perform different tasks in order to advance levels.
Paradise Minor Baseball has adopted Baseball Canada's Rally Cap as the entry level, or initiation program for the 4 - 7 age group. The format involves three teams of six players that meet at a field at the same time. Two teams play a 20 minute game, while one team practices in the outfield. Every 20 minutes they switch, so that each team plays offense and defense and has one practice in the 60 minutes session.
Age Group: 4 - 7 years old (in the current calendar year)
Session Length: 75 Minutes
Roster Size: Approximately 6 players
Schedule: Monday and Wednesdays or Tuesday and Thursday evenings (5:00-6:15) *
* Subject to change. Final schedule and time slots are dependent on field availability from the Town of Paradise and final registration numbers.
Required: Glove, Batting Helmet, Bat, Hat (supplied), Jersey (supplied)
Recommended: Athletic Support (i.e. jock or jill), Long Pants
Optional: Cleats, Baseball Pants
NOTE: Baseball hats and jerseys should be worn to each practice or game.
Following warmup, two (2) teams play a twenty (20) minute game, while one (1) team practices in the outfield. Every twenty (20) minutes they switch so that each team plays two (2) games and has one (1) practice in the sixty (60) minutes session
Modifications may be implemented during the games to ensure the players, coaches and parent helpers remain engaged, while still ensuring the players are taught the fundamentals of the game.
A Head Coach and Assistant Coach are assigned to each Rally Cap team. Parents are also encouraged to assist the coaches as Parent Helpers. The Junior Divisional Rep coordinates a coaches meeting prior to the season starting that allows coaches to meet each other, review the Rally Cap Package (schedule, rules, format, modifications, etc.) and ask questions. Practice plans and Rally Cap manuals created by Baseball Canada will be provided which provides a variety of skill development drills and games that are age appropriate.
