posted 01/30/2010 The children have spoken, and we have heard them. The #1 complaint by the kids who have participated in our T-Ball and Rookie programs in recent years has been: "It's boring! It's for babies! When you make an out, you should be out! Three outs and the inning is over!"
Beginning with the 2010 spring season, a number of changes have been made to enhance the overall experience of the children participating in our program. Our T-Ball program will now be called "Farm," and will include a traditional camp-style practice on Tuesday nights, followed by games on Saturdays. This will be an introduction to the game of baseball, with the emphasis on drills aimed at developing new skill sets (throwing, catching, hitting, base running, etc..) The overriding emphasis is to have fun and be a valued member of a team. During games, Farm-level players will hit off a tee, and as the year progresses, will hit coach pitching. Outs will not count, scores will not be kept, and the entire lineup will bat in order.
The Rookie level has been renamed the "Grapefruit League," beginning in spring, 2010. At this level, players will experience a "camp style" practice on Thursday nights, and games on Saturdays. The skill sets and drills during practice sessions will be changed to reflect a more focused emphasis on expanding and enhancing player's abilities as they progress. During Saturday games, the team's coach will pitch, and the kids themselves will begin to pitch as the year progresses. Outs will count, but a score will not be kept. A bat-around rule will be in place to ensure that no team bats through the lineup more than once during an inning.
Registration for the spring season is now taking place online, through February 15th. Please see our web site for details.

REMINDER: IT'S NOT TOO LATE!
Salem Youth Baseball is proud to announce its 6th annual Winter Workout Program at Play Ball in Salem, NH. This ten-week program is designed for Little Leaguers aged six through thirteen. The program will run every Saturday, from January 16th to March 20th. The time will be from 3pm-4:30pm, and the cost is $95 per player.
To sign up you can call Play Ball at 898-0332, email info@goplayball.com or go in person to Play Ball at 16 Industrial Way.
Last year's program was the best yet as the main staffing was handled by Play Ball's staff! The goal of the ten-week clinic is to provide our athletes the opportunity to learn and improve their skills in preparation for the upcoming spring season while having fun.
Here is the program's structure:
- Each week will begin with a "featured guest speaker" who will discuss a "topic of the week" (hitting, fielding, pitching, throwing, mental approach, sportsmanship, base running etc...). The guest list will include:
* Dean Borrelli (former 8-year pro player)
* Steve Pallazolo (current San Francisco Giants pitcher)
* Al Mottram (former 5 year pro)
* Mike Chambers (former Boston Red Sox player)
* Various other high school and college coaches/players
- The ballplayers will run through various drill stations, working on the skills needed to become an effective baseball player.
- Play Ball's professional will run the majority of the program, insuring proper technique
For questions, please call Play Ball at 603-898-0332 .

posted 04/10/2008 If you are in the market for a new non-wood bat for your 6-12-year-old, please be aware of a new Little League rule that goes into effect in 2009:
"Beginning with the 2009 season, non-wood bats used in divisions of Little League (league age 12 years old and younger) shall be printed with a BPF (bat performance factor) of 1.15 or less."
In addition, Little League rules state that the barrel of the bat should be no more than 2 1/4" and no more than 33 inches in length.
NOTE: If you are purchasing a bat for the Babe Ruth level (age 13-16), the maximum barrel diameter is 2 5/8". Little League bats are allowed in Babe Ruth; however, you will probably not want to use one at that level, as the ball does not travel as far with the longer, thinner barrels.
