U9 RookieBall
This program is designed as an intermediate step between T-Ball and Baseball. A pitching machine is used to provide consistency as skill development continues. Fun, friendship, team work and sportsmanship are stressed, and concepts of competition are introduced.
U11 Mosquito to U21 Junior Baseball:
These programs are designed to help develop baseball fundamentals. Teams are balanced by skill levels, and the focus is on fun within a team atmosphere. Minimal skill level is needed, and knowledge of the rules is necessary.
All Southwest Baseball Teams, whether House League, Select or Competitive welcome both boys and girls.
