U9 LTP Players

U9 Division Info

The Cordova Bay Fastball U9 Program also called Learn to Play (or LTP) supports our youngest fastball players, providing training in fundamentals and the experience they need to grow in the sport. Some U9 players have experience, while others have no fastball experience. Either is fine as the emphasis is on fun and skill development - with fast and engaging sessions that keep players moving and learning. Players benefit from structured practices and simplified games.

Schedule

The season begins in early April and runs until the end of June. During this time, players will be on the field two times per week.  Practices will be on Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm-7:30pm, and Games are typically set for Saturday mornings at 9am.

Age Requirements

In Spring 2024, U9 Fastball is for players born in 2015 and 2016.

Team Selection

Cordova Bay Fastball will make every effort to accommodate friend or coaching requests made at the time of registration however, no guarantees can be made.

Uniforms

Players will receive a team uniform shirt and a hat (new players only) that they will wear for both practices and games.  There is a $50 Uniform deposit to be paid via cash or cheque on Uniform Pick-up Day.

Equipment

Required equipment:

• glove
• batting helmet with a strap and cage (optional)
• cleats (optional) - baseball or soccer style cleats are fine
• infield face guard (optional)

Please ensure that you mark the player's name on everything. A white label or masking tape works well on the outside of the batting helmet and handwritten on labels in shirts, glove and hats.
