5ive Tools Academy will be running baseball skills clinics for Rookies/Minors/Majors players & managers on Sunday, February 1st, with a tentative schedule as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tee Ball (ages 4-7): An inning is defined as one time through the batting order (not 3 outs). All players bat in each inning and all players play the field each inning. Coaches are allowed on the field with the players. The two main goals are to have fun and to start to learn the basics of baseball. Emphasis is given to throwing and catching. Hitting is done from a batting tee for the first half of the season while the coaches soft pitch for the second half of the season (each coach pitches to their own team). No score is kept, and competition is minimized. This is a great time for LOTS of parent help!! You would be surprised how many people it takes to handle a dozen players at this age. No special skills are needed to help out so please volunteer if you can. No tryouts are held; players just sign up and are assigned to a team by the Tee Ball Coordinator and the Player Agent.

 

Time Commitment: Tee Ball will start out with one weekday practice and one Saturday practice, then converts to a weekday practice and a Saturday game when game play begins. Weekday practice assignment will be totally dependent upon our volunteer coaches and field availability but will be between 4 and 6pm. Game times on Saturday will be a random assignment, but can be anywhere between 9am - 5pm, likely earlier in the day.

 

Rookies (ages 6-9): 6-year-olds must have played two seasons of Tee ball. All machine pitch.

 

Time Commitment: Rookies will start out with one weekday practice/batting cage, and one Saturday practice. Once game play begins, there will be one weekday game and one Saturday game with a weekday batting/field practice. Practice days and times will be completely dependent upon volunteer coaches and field availability. Weekday games will most likely be a randomized selection between Tuesday and Thursday. All weekday times will range between 4-7pm, and Saturday games can range from 8am-5pm.

 

Minors (ages 8-11): 8-year-olds must have played two seasons of Rookies. All kid will pitch.

 

Time Commitment: Minors will start out with as many as one weekday batting cage, one field practice, and one Saturday practice. Once game play begins, there will be one weekday game and one Saturday game with a mixture of batting practices and field practices as the Manager sees fit. Practice days and times will be completely dependent upon volunteer coaches and field availability. Weekday games will most likely be a randomized selection between Tuesday and Thursday. All weekday times will range between 4-7pm, and Saturday games can range from 8am-5pm, with one- or two-night games beginning at 6pm.

 

Majors (ages 10-12): 10-year-olds must have played two seasons of Minors. 

 

Time Commitment: Majors will start out with as many as one weekday batting cage, one field practice, and one Saturday practice. Once game play begins, there will be one weekday game and one Saturday game with a mixture of batting practices and field practices as the Manager sees fit. Practice days and times will be completely dependent upon volunteer coaches and field availability. Weekday games will most likely be a randomized selection between Tuesday and Thursday. All weekday times will range between 5-9pm, and Saturday games can range from 8am-9pm.

Expect to hear from your player’s coach by January 31, 2026, with practices beginning the first week of February. Opening Ceremonies and 1st games will be February 28th.

 

 

In an effort to provide a contactless and paperless registration system, all forms and documents will be required before tryouts (or practices for Tee Ball). All forms and waivers can be completed either during registration, or in each player's individual entry in the My Account section of Sports Connect. The forms and waivers needed to be completed for full registration verification are:

 

 

·   Birth Certificate copy for age verification (if you have registered your child previously with the league, you will see "Document Verified")

 

 

·   Little League Medical Release Form - Please download, fill out, and scan in/take a good quality photo prior to starting registration. You do not need to fill out the League Insurance fields.

 PLAYER EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

 

Parents new to the league and baseball often wonder what equipment they will need to participate. The following is a minimum requirement:

 

·   Glove

·   Cleats

·   Batting Helmet

·   Athletic Supporter and Cup (for male athletes)

·   Baseball Pants (Color choice will be provided by the coach based on team uniform assignment. Multiple pairs are recommended so you have practices and games covered for the week.)

Carmel Mountain Ranch Little League has always tried to make registration as affordable as possible for our families. That being said, there are a lot of costs that go into running and maintaining a little league organization. Fees will be used to help provide funding for the following items but are not limited to:

 

·   Insurance

·   Field Permits

·   Field Maintenance

·   Game Uniforms (Hat, Jersey)

·   Annual Equipment Refresh (Baseballs and as needed: Buckets, Catcher's Gear, etc.)

·   Umpire's Fees

 

Please keep in mind that most of these items are already purchased and paid for before the season even begins.
