The primary goal of the Hawks Athletic Club is to learn and enjoy the great game of baseball while preparing for high school competition. The player’s first exposure to the national pastime generally comes in Little League. The more accomplished players begin to look for more games and a higher level of play towards the end of the Little League experience. We try to cooperate with town based programs whenever possible.
