2024 FOSTER CITY LEGENDS (March 17 - May 19, 202r)
A training program for 5-7 year olds of Foster City Little League.
Legends is an eight week program, beginning in mid-March, one hour per week (dates and times are below) which utilizes advanced, but gamified, baseball training exercises uniquely geared toward players in the 5-7yo range.
Rain Update: On those days when rain appears to be a possibility, at noon each day we will post a final rainout decision on this page (pls bookmark now).
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Purpose: (1) Utilization of fun games to teach basic baseball skills to registered FCLL players ages 5-7yo in preparation for their next level of play; and (2) to educate and motivate parents in working with their little players at home and possibly becoming coaches. Training will be more skills development, less “how to play the game.”
Concept: A voluntary clinic (one 1 hour clinic per week for 8 weeks). Parents stay, participate, and help their players with the drills. No drop-off. No need to register, ok to miss a session here or there. Last 10 minutes of each hour includes a parent talk. See topics below.
Dates/Times: Legends is eight weeks, one hour per week. Clinic dates and times are below.
Location: Sea Cloud Park. Meet at Snack Shack and look for us.
Skills Taught: Batting; Throwing/Catching; Fielding Grounders and Fly Balls
Costs: Free, costs was included in your registration fee.
Voluntary: This is voluntary if you want to supplement what you are learning at practice and in games. You are not required to come. Although once a player has come to a Legends clinic, (s)he may skip some or all future clinics, we strongly encourage all players and parents to continue on and finish the remaining clinics.
Equipment Required: Same equipment you are using for your current division of play.
**Parents must REMAIN and must not leave their children. Please do not drop off.
