We are excited to offer the fall baseball program in 2022. We expect to begin the first week of school for practice,etc. Prospective players will be given all the information regarding specific protocols to follow in person at our first meetings and practices and future announcements here and on Twitter. Games are played on Weekdays – Monday to Thursday and there are no weekend games on the schedule. Varsity games will mostly be Tuesday and Thursday. JV can be M-TH. The fall baseball program is one where players can play the game and practice in an environment of development that focuses on becoming better players for tryouts in the spring. All players interested moving into grades 8-12 in 2022 are eligible.
Varsity Pitchers and Catchers will meet at 2:45pm Wed. Aug. 31 on field for a Rapsodo baseline training test in a short bullpen.
Varsity positional players and hitters will meet at 2:45pm TH Sept. 1 for Rapsodo baseline testing on their swing. Full team workouts will be announced that week in order to prepare for the first fall game.
JV players will be notified of first practice and start dates here on Twitter and the website.
Players interested in playing this fall will be required to pay a fee to play. (See below) This is because the league is a privately funded league and has costs related to it from baseballs, player insurance, umpire fees, league fees, field fees, etc. The Fall baseball teams have no affiliation with the EASD in any way. No transportation is provided and please DO NOT call the athletic office regarding anything to do with fall baseball. All contacts should be made to the coaches directly.
We will have a Varsity team that will compete against the following list of schools. Typically, we play 10 games with a tournament at the end of the league. The JV squad will play a similar amount of games.The season typically runs through September and to mid October.
Easton
Freedom
Central Catholic
Northampton
Nazareth
Pocono Mountain East
Wilson
Dieruff
Players going into Grades 10-12 for the 2020-21 school year will be considered for varsity fall placement. Some players may be asked to play JV games and some varsity games at times dependent on ability and positional needs. Flexible rosters will be used. All seniors will play varsity level fall ball at times.
JV games will be scheduled as well with these schools and will also use Kunkle and the main Varsity field as home field. At times we will intrasquad scrimmage as well.
JV teams will be made up of grades 9-10 primarily and we will have a limited number of spots for players entering grade 8.
Financial amounts will be set very soon once the league gives us the fees schedule etc. Typically, it falls in the $125 range but we expect it to be slightly higher because this year we are adding a few things for our players.
Players will be receiving the following in the fee: This fee will be finalized over the next few weeks after getting information from the league organizer on costs associated with playing.
Game shirt – used for Fall games
Workout tee with Easton Baseball – Used for weight training and Zoned training in winter Pair of shorts with Easton Baseball – Same as above
All players need their own helmet in red matte by the spring for our program because of not sharing equipment and uniform requirements. Team Helmets will be provided for those in the fall that do not have one. One can also be purchased prior to the spring if needed through the program.See coaches if interested.
