What is the First Swing League?
We are extremely excited to introduce our new and innovated youth league!  In continuing to push the envelope to develop our youth as best as possible, our First Swing League features a new way to look at the game of Baseball and Softball.  The rules of the game have been modified to encourage growth and development while pushing a faster pace to increase engagement and FUN.  This is not T-Ball., players will participate with a live (Thrown) ball.  Our ball is significantly softer, but plays like a regulation ball.  Unlike regular youth baseball with 2 teams of 12-14 players playing 9 vs 9, our First Swing League uses 3 teams of 4-5 players at a time.

 

The game's focus is on getting kids to hit the ball and field the ball more than in a standard game.  More balls in play equals more fun and engagement for the players. This is the perfect fall ball option so the players can finish the summer and go into the winter having seen more pitches and having fielded many more balls than they would have playing standard 9 vs 9 baseball.

Benefits:

Games will move significantly faster than a normal 9v9 game

K25 Trainers will be at every game and practice training the players

There are less players so there's less sitting

Players will get to experience playing more positions

More attention from coaches

More Bat to Ball contact which encourages more learning
Quicker games ...and the most important part: More reps!

The rules:
3 teams of 5 take the field at the same time: 1 at bat, 1 in the infield, 1 in the outfield
3 balls for a walk, 2 strikes for an out (unlimited fouls)
The batting team goes until they get 3 outs. When 3 outs are made, the batting team moves to the infield, the infielding team moves to the outfield, and the outfielding team goes to bat.
Gameplay ends after an hour and 15 minutes of play.
