Mission Statement
The Wallingford Panthers is a youth baseball organization consisting of a joint venture of Yalesville and Wallingford youth baseball programs. The Panthers are one of the founding members of the Central Connecticut Fall Baseball League (CCFBL) The Panthers are promoting baseball through correct fundamental training and development of baseball skills. This foundation will hopefully provide success into his/her high school or later careers. The Wallingford Panthers are NOT associated or subsidized by any national youth baseball organization.
Panthers Structure
The original intent, based on the kid’s input, was to seek other competitive teams in the area so that they can become better players for the following spring season. The training is setup so that the player's performance had to meet the higher expectations set by the coaching staff. Position playing time is competitive among teammates. Basically, "Kids pushing Kids" to perform the correct skills. Playing time is decided by the coaching staff, there are no minimum playing time rules. Kids must earn their playing time in the eyes of the coaching staff. Six divisions will be provided based on April 30th, 2008 age. The Panthers reserves the right to place child on a team based on their skill level. We reserve the right to limit the number of team and players in the program based on the number of qualified coaches that step forward.
