Our 10th year providing Alameda's youth an opportunity to improve their skills, teach the Rascal way of baseball, in a positive & competitive atmosphere. 

​

Fielding teams of all ages this fall. 

​​

The Rascals primary goal for fall is IMPROVEMENT. Our developmental program will ensure that if you player puts in the work, his overall skillset will improve. Individual instruction + team practices + competitive atmosphere = successful fall season. 

 

We will have several Rascal Alumni, who are not only experienced players but also possess a deep understanding of the game, assisting the youth team at practices. Their involvement is crucial as it will provide the young athletes with the opportunity to receive personalized instruction tailored to their unique skill sets and developmental needs. These alumni will bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise, having honed their skills through years of practice and competition. In addition to individual instruction, they will also lead position-specific drills designed to enhance the players’ technical abilities and tactical understanding of their respective roles on the field. This focused approach will help the youth team members improve their performance, build confidence, and foster a greater love for the game. Furthermore, the presence of these accomplished alumni serves as a source of inspiration and motivation for the young players, as they can see firsthand the potential pathways their own futures in sports may hold.

​​

We firmly believe that for players in this age group, there should be no cuts made during the selection process. It is essential to foster an inclusive environment where every child has the opportunity to participate and develop their skills in a supportive setting. If we find ourselves with multiple teams within the same age group, the initial weeks of the season will be dedicated to thorough evaluation. During this evaluation period, our coaching staff will closely observe each player's abilities, including their technical skills, understanding of the game, teamwork, and overall attitude on the field. After this comprehensive assessment, players will be thoughtfully placed on a specific team that aligns with their talent and skill level. This approach ensures that each player is given the chance to compete at a level that is appropriate for them, allowing for personal growth and improvement while also promoting a sense of camaraderie among teammates. By prioritizing player development over competitive cuts, we aim to create an enriching experience that encourages young athletes to pursue their passion for the sport and build lasting friendships.
