Baseball programs
5U Blastball
BlastBall!® provides an ideal entry level of play for the youngster who will go on to other advanced levels of the game. BlastBall!® is meant to put FUN in to the game of Baseball. BlastBall!® teaches all five basic fundamentals of baseball and softball… Hitting, Throwing, Catching, Running, and Fielding.
6U T-ball
Players’ first experiences in baseball should be filled with active and engaging activities that are developmentally appropriate for their age. Cloverdale Minor Baseball chose to adapt the Rally Cap Program at the T-Ball (6U) level; developed with the purpose of making baseball attractive to young players, and to ensure their first experiences with the game were positive and long lasting.
7U Super-T
At the Super-T level, the name of the game is teaching kids baseball. This not only includes the playing aspect but
also instilling a love for the game. Super T was developed to allow the second year T-Ball players a chance to grow their game and start to learn the fundamentals and rules of baseball. At this level, players get introduced to the pitching machine.
9U Tadpole
The 2 year Tadpole program continues to develop baseball acumen while emphasizing having fun while focused on continued learning and developing the skills of baseball – pitching, batting, throwing, fielding and base running.
11U Mosquito
Using the skills learnt during the Tadpole years, the Mosquito program continues to focus on having fun while introducing new baseball skills. All innings are with players pitching (no pitching machine), and base stealing is introduced at this level. All players will get plenty of opportunities to bat, and are encouraged to learn all fielding positions. Outs are recorded, and scores are kept.
13U Pee Wee
Pee Wee is the first division where tiering and travelling play begins. Players may try out for the "AA" team(s) that offer a more competitive level of play. These team(s) will play "AA" teams from other associations. Players not selected to the "AA" team(s) will be selected to one of the "A" teams which offer a more recreational level of play. These "A" teams will play "A" teams from other associations.
All players bat in rotation, as 9 man ball is not in effect at this level (except for Pee Wee AAA in Summer All-Star play).
15U Bantam
The Bantam division is tiered and at all levels the teams travel to play other associations. Players may try out for the "AA" or "AAA" teams that offer a more competitive level of play. These teams will play similar level teams from other associations. Players not selected to the "AA" or "AAA" teams will be selected to one of the "A" teams which offer a more recreational level of play. These "A" teams will play "A" teams from other associations.
18U Midget
The Midget division is tiered and at all levels the teams travel to play other associations. Players may try out for the "AAA" team that offers a more competitive level of play. The "AAA" team will play "AAA" teams from other associations. Players not selected to the "AAA" team will be selected to one of the "AA" teams which offer a more recreational level of play. These "AA" teams will play "AA" teams from other associations.
Except for at the "AAA" level, all players bat in rotation as 9 man ball is not in effect.
26U Junior Mens
The Jr Mens division is about giving the players a chance to play, so teams have the option of playing "9 player ball", of batting everyone in the line-up, or anything in between. However fair play rules are in effect, where each player must get at least one at bat and play three defensive innings in the field. The games are 9 innings, with a minimum of 7 innings in the event of a mercy.
All teams travel to play other associations within the lower mainland.
This is a single season league, with games starting mid April, and running until end of July.
Challenger
An opportunity for children with cognitive or physical disabilities to enjoy the thrill of playing baseball, being part of a team, developing physical and social skill plus all the benefits of participation in baseball at a level structured to their abilities.
Games are played in a fun, safe environment where no score is kept.
Our philosophy is very simple: 'Play, just for fun!!'
