Our 7U division is an entry level program that is designed to introduce children to the game of baseball, keeping them active and engaged, while learning the skills of the game in a fun, safe and informative environment. The 7U division plays with 3 teams on the field at once. Team 1 batting with all players hitting off a tee. Team 2 playing defense in the infield area. Team 3 in the outfield practicing skills & drills. Once team 1 has run through their line up batting all 3 teams will rotate. Team 1 will rotate to outfield skills/drill, team 2 rotate to batting and team 3 rotate to the infield. Hopefully each game will allow all teams to play each station twice. Each team bats through their whole lineup each inning so there are no maximum number of outs in any given inning. No scores or standings are kept at this level. Approximately 6-8 kids will be placed on teams in order to keep them actively involved.

Q - What are my volunteer requirements?
A - 1 volunteer shift per registered child (up to a max of 2). Most volunteer shifts are in the concession at either JDF or AT Gordon, at a tournament, Team picture days or various other events. For those planning on doing your volunteer duties, we will send info at a later date on when we will be collecting these checks leading up to the season. You will have the option to buy out your volunteer duties should that be of interest, the buy-out fee will once again be $200 per child registered up to 2 kids max per family. To be clear, we don't want your money, we would much rather have the support as there is a lot that goes into these activities and as our club and community continues to grow, so will the number of things we have to do to make this all run smoothly. You will have the option to pay the buy-out fee during the registration process or at any time as a standalone item in our web store. Checks will be collected at the preseason Meet & Greet where you will meet your Coaches, team, and receive your uniforms.
Q - What are my fundraising requirements?
A - Fundraising has been rolled into registration costs.
Q - My son or daughter is advanced in their abilities for 7U, can they move up to 9U?
A - It is possible. Each child will be assessed on a case-by-case basis with the final decision resting with our player agent. There are factors such as available space and team size to consider before the kids will be moved up a level so there are no guarantees. If a player does move up they will still have to do the required time which would now be 3 seasons.
Players MUST be at least 6 years old to be considered for move-up to 9U.
**If you have any questions about moving up, please reach out to our Player Agent at taaplayeragent@gmail.com
