Why you should play in Vestal Little Leagues AAA League?
Vestal Little League AAA League For players 6 years old to 8 years old
Why you should play in Vestal Little League’s AAA League?
Vestal Little League runs the area’s best instructional baseball league and you should have your baseball player receive the best instruction!
Why is the Vestal Little League AAA the best? The Vestal Little League AAA league is an instructional league. Focus is on teaching baseball fundamentals and making sure the players have FUN!!! AAA is not about winning; AAA is about learning baseball while having a good time.
Vestal Little League AAA league uses a CLINIC FORMAT to teach. The first 6 sessions that the players meet are full blown baseball clinics. Players are taught:
- Proper warm up technique
- How to catch a baseball
- How to throw a baseball
- Proper fielding of ground balls
- Proper fielding of fly balls
- Proper hitting technique
- Base running
- Pitching
- Catching
- Baseball positions and strategies
- And more
During the clinic sessions the players are all split into small groups and these groups rotate through the clinic stations learning each of these skills. At the end of the clinic session the players play different games to keep the experience pleasant and fun…. Fun is our main goal! After the clinic sessions are done we maintain the clinic format by doing a mini-clinic before each game where coaches will focus on a specific skill for a half hour before starting the actual baseball game. Your baseball player will be taught by coaches who undergo training by Vestal Little League to insure that all the players get the best possible instruction from the coaches.
Vestal Little League AAA is for players’ ages 6 – 8 years old. Players must be 6 years old by 4/30/2009
All Vestal Little League AAA players receive a hat, socks and team shirt that are theirs to keep at the end of the season.
