Sluggers A Baseball (Ages 6-7) - Players who have at least one year of T-ball are typically enrolled in the Sluggers A program. Sluggers A is geared toward teaching sound baseball fundamentals, such as proper throwing, fielding and batting techniques. The Sluggers A program is your child's first opportunity to hit a pitched baseball. (An adult pitcher will pitch to your child.) Sluggers A teams will generally practice twice a week in the preseason for an hour to 90 minutes. During the regular season, Sluggers A teams will typically have 2 baseball "events" during the week, a weekday practice and a weekend game. Sluggers A teams will play approximately 9 games during the regular season, depending on scheduling considerations and weather. Your child will play in at least 2 of the 3 defensive innings, and will bat in all innings of a regular game. Parent participation is necessary on many levels from Coaching, Field Preparation, Team parent etc.

Eastlake's instructional baseball program (Sluggers A & AA) will attempt to place players on teams based on previous season's level of play, roughly grouped by elementary school. Players may not skip a level of play (i.e., played T-ball last year, and play Sluggers AA this year). Mutual buddy requests are allowed (i.e. John S. requests to be on the same team as Tim J. AND Tim J. requests to be on the same team with John S.). Buddy requests must be from the same level of play (e.g. T-Ball player may not request to be a buddy with an A player). We recommend that you click on the "Tell a Friend" button above to inform your friend you are selecting them for your Buddy Request and coordinate with them to request you during their registration process. Most ages listed are recommended only, prior level of play and player's skill level will ultimately determine placement unless mandated by Little League or local rules. Team formation will be determined by: mutual buddy requests (guaranteed), coaching considerations (manager and assistant coaches), elementary school, and non-mutual buddy requests in that order.
