2015 Fall Tournament Teams

Northside's Fall Tournament Teams will focus on skill development and having fun.  Teams will normally get together just once a week on Sundays for either practice or game(s).  The cost for the team (if any) will be determined at a later date based on actual number of games and uniform costs.  Activities won’t conflict with regular Northside Fall league play and players are encouraged to sign up for Northside’s fall league in addition to being part of this tournament team; Northside’s regular Fall registration is available now.

Minor Sandlots...Please note changes below
Managed by Coaches Eric Lane & Chris Guyton

There will be a slight change to the format that was blasted out for those players who are moving up to Minors from the Rookie division.
For the first week, we will hold separate sandlots for the "new to Minor" players in order to allow for a more relaxed atmosphere to review/practice some of the new aspects of minor division baseball (kid pitch, hitting kid pitches, base running changes), and to play a game or two amongst just the new players. Beginning the second week of August, we will join the groups as one Minor sandlot, in line with the previous blast. 

On Tuesday, 8/4 @ 530, we will meet at Baker Butler and go over the basics of pitching from a flat surface; face live coach and kid pitch at the plate, and practice advanced base running skills including leading, and stealing. Hopefully, we will finish the evening with a 1-3 inning scrimmage.

On Thursday, 8/6 @ 530, we will meet at Hollymead Lower, quickly review some basics, divide the group into two sub-groups, and play a fun game to put into practice what we reviewed on Tuesday.

Beginning on Tuesday, 8/11, all Minor eligible players will play together.  On Thursday 8/13, the new to Minors and experienced Minors will play separately.  New to Minors will meet at 6 pm at Hollymead Lower, Experienced Minors will meet at CRF at 6 pm.  Check back for possible changes next week as well.
