What is the Program?

The Boys Travel Baseball program is designed for boys who are currently 7-14 years old and are enrolled in an Anthony Wayne Local School or live in the Anthony Wayne School District.

This program extends from January to June, offers two practices/week, league play, and tournament play. Our coaches focus to develop the skills necessary to play the game of baseball throughout the season -- throwing, hitting, fielding, catching, etc. Focusing on the fundamentals and strategies, and applying them to a game setting is to prepare them for the organized baseball that continues into high school.
