Developmental Fall Ball
Sign ups for developmental fall ball will be available on July 15th. Current Akron A's players will have the first option to participate and then we will have a tryout for any remaining spots.
Developmental Fall Ball is designed to offer continued development at a time of year when we be more deliberate about our outdoor training. Fall weather tends to be much more predictable in September and it is much easier to schedule our weekly practice to accompany the games. We typically practice once per week as a team and it is a fun environment where coach Jimmy likes to let the boys play controlled scrimmages with instruction, in addition to our other outdoor work. We typically play two games per week although the kids playing SSBL have more unpredictable schedules, with a roughly 12-14 game schedule.
Fall ball is great because many of the boys who are just starting to get serious about baseball may have made some significant progress during the summer but they can forget and/or go back to old habits if they don't play another live game for 9 more months. Fall ball is a great way to solidify those new habits and, of course, have fun playing the great game of baseball!!
