Greendell Falcons Baseball Program at Greendell Community Centre

Greendell Falcons Baseball program is for boys and girls from ages 10 to 18. Registration for all age groups is held at beginning of March. The season for all age groups typically runs from May till June, and for the older ages groups the season can extend into July.

Evaluations (Assessments)

Mosquito, Peewee, Bantam, Midget Divisions

In these age groups, the reason for skill evaluations (assessment) is, first and foremost, the safety of the athletes. We will attempt to place each athlete on a team with players of a comparable skill level in order to promote a safe baseball environment.

We also evaluate (assess) the athletes so that when tiered into AA or AAA they are afforded the greatest opportunity for fun, further skill development and success at practices and during games. Please make certain that your player attends their pre-season evaluation (assessment) sessions. In addition to the evaluations (assessment) component our experienced assessor-coaches also offer tips and instruction, providing a useful early-season workout for all the players. Teams will be assembled by the assessor-coaches for each age group and then coaches will be assigned once the tiering and team selection has been completed.

Games and Practices

Games: Game schedules are released late April or early May. Your team coach will provide a game schedule for you.

2010 Baseball tentative game days:

Mosquito A: Tuesdays & Thursdays

Mosquito AA: Mondays & Wednesdays

Peewee A: Mondays & Wednesdays

Peewee AA: Tuesdays & Thursdays

Peewee AAA: Tuesdays & Thursdays

Bantam/Midget: will advise

Practices: Your coach will schedule practices and if applicable to your age group, batting cage sessions. Please attend the practices! Players do not improve if they only attend the games. Skills and drills are taught at the practices. At the games we implement what we learned in practice. For example: in one fielding fly-ball practice, a player may catch 30-40 consecutive fly balls. You may not catch 30-40 fly-balls in a complete season during games.
