All Baseball, Inc.'s summer program has been evolving into longer term relationships with
players, parents, and coaches. Initial involvement with youth players in the form of summer camps and private lessons
only identified the necessity of developing more comprehensive efforts.
Those efforts now include the instruction
of players, team building, and the establishment of an appropriate schedule of games to monitor and enhance development.
Solving the dilemma of high school age players who do not participate on summer travel teams is a tremendous challenge.
Competitive selection, cost, and logistical difficulties begin closing the market for players who remain dedicated yet
without proper connections to the more select teams.
We have been helping players by forming summer
teams and fall programs since 2003 to address the needs of youth players. Now we must grow into a new phase to help
those players who have grown with us.
FALL BASEBALL
Early September through Mid-October Sunday game schedule. Game times 1pm, 3pm, 5pm
SCHEDULE AND COST
2008
brought the fourth season of fall instructional offerings for the All Baseball, Inc. program. The activity
has evolved into a very quiet 8-12 game schedule for a limited group of players and teams. Registration
is purposefully controlled to ensure attractive scheduling for players, parents, and coaches who are already
busy but know that baseball doesn't end in July.
An attempt is made to find 4 teams per prospective age
divisions to allow the most attractive Sunday only scheduling. One of the hallmarks of the program is however the
flexibility to match proper opponents and challenge players to reach new levels by mixing ages.
Changes
in 2008 included a more varied schedule of opponents on a given Sunday, but did not guarantee a double header
for every team each weekend. Experience has shown that sometimes only one game on weekends for teams
is beneficial to achieve a more heightened level of play.
The league is designed to allow players
an opportunity to strengthen knowledge of a primary position, begin an understanding of secondary positions, and
comprehend more extensive game situations. A legitimate competitive feel is maintained by employing two
umpires.
This effort is intended to be an instruction and development league which succeeds
in attracting players and coaches of similar purpose and perspectives.
