For players making one of the teams, voluntary, weekly Pitcher/Catcher practice usually begins in November.  Hitting instruction typically begins in December and will continue once a week during the winter and early spring.  Last year's hitting instruction included approximately fifteen, 90 minute sessions on Saturdays at THE HIT CLUB in Thomaston, Connecticut!

The Registration Fee for players who make 10U will be approximately $400 for the 2010 season! Registration Fee for all other age divisions will be approximately $600!   The Fees cover insurance, uniform (if outgrown or new player), slider, sliding short, socks, and winter hitting instruction costs and help pay for team equipment needs and tournament registration fees! 

Outdoor practices and games are held at various fields in Prospect and Beacon Falls!
