RALLYCAP GENERAL INFORMATION

The Rallycap program is run through Parkland Minor Ball Association.  This program is designed to teach young children the basic skills of baseball and instill a lifelong love of the game.  This program introduces the sport in a fun way that encourages parents to join their kids on the field and enjoy baseball together while building their skills and knowledge of the game.  (This level is in place of what used to be known as T-ball)

**We run the Rallycap program in accordance with Baseball Canada/Baseball Alberta.  We have 3 years of the Rallycap program with evaluations to place players on teams of like ability to develop their skills.  There are six levels to the Rallycap program that players can move through.**

If you are interested in coaching your child’s team, there will be a coaching clinic available.  We will cover the drills used in the program and how to help develop your players and enjoy the season!

****On-field volunteering****

In order to run the Rallycap program properly and give the players the best opportunity for fun and development, we require two adult volunteers on field each night to assist the coach.  A schedule will be assigned to each team and if you are unable to be on field on your assigned night, you will need to make arrangements with another parent from your team to take your place.
