Where are we: Lloyd Elsmore Park, Pakuranga. Entrance off Cascades Road (opposite Cascades Fruit and Vege / Cascades Road shops). Here's a map!
Ages:
HP Junior Sluggers grade ages 5 - 6 (although we do accept 4 year olds turning 5 during the season)
HP Sluggers grade aged 8 or under as of 1 January 2016
Players aged 9 as of 1 January 2016 play U11s baseball.
Please note that due to player numbers we may need to move players up or down between these grades in order to get complete teams. We'll do our best to work with the parents and players to make this work for everyone, but we do ask for your understanding as it's often a no win situation putting the teams together where the player numbers don't cooperate.
Season runs: 31 October - March 2016 with a break over the Christmas period.
Season dates (provisional): 31 October - 12 December 2015, 6 February - 19 March 2016 (14 weeks)
Games: Saturday mornings 8:30am - 10am
Training times:
Junior Sluggers - Friday 5:30 - 6:15pm
Sluggers - Friday 5:30 - 6:30pm (or alternative time - team coach to advise)
Cost: $90 for the first player (discounts apply if you have more than one player registering for the season).
In order to help the Club with collection of fees, registration fees must be paid before the player will be allocated to a team for the season. Our fee covers all costs of putting a player on the diamond (ie cap, shirt, affiliation fees) on a break even basis. As such, we can't provide discounts for players wanting to play only part of a season, nor can we issue refunds once the season has started as the costs have already been incurred and can't otherwise be recovered.
What you need: Shoes/sneakers, socks and undies - we supply everything else! (ie pants, shirts, baseball caps and all playing equipment). Every player is even given their own soft core baseball, and the shirts and caps are for the players to keep - you only need return the baseball pants at the end of the season. Running/casual shoes are acceptable (at this age we don't want kids wearing cleats so as to avoid injuries to other players), but no jandals, sandals or bare feet please.
There are often changes in the lead up to the season, so please check back here often leading in to the season to get the most up to date information possible. We will have a parents meeting at the muster on the 23rd of October.
Our first training night will be our muster on Friday 23rd October at 5:30pm. We'll start off with a parent meeting and then run through some drills. Our next training night will be our regular training night as detailed above.
