Rally Cap Program (Presented by Tim Hortons)

Once again, this summer Baseball Manitoba will be implementing Baseball Canada's new entry level program called the "Rally Cap Program". The Rally Cap program will service the 4 - 7 age group, and involves three teams of six players that meet at the park at the same time. Two teams play a 20 minute game, while one team practices in the outfield. Every 20 minutes they switch, so that each team plays two games and has one practice in the 60 minutes session.

During the season the teams will be working on five fundamentals of baseball. Twice during the season the players will have opportunities to perform different skill tasks in order to earn a coloured Baseball Canada Rally Cap (hence the program name). Different coloured hats are achieved based on the level reached.

**We are looking for at least one centre per region to host the Rally Cap Program this year. There will be a minimal cost to area associations wishing to host Rally Cap Programs.

Each hat is purchased by Baseball Manitoba from Baseball Canada. The hats for 2010 will be distributed free by Baseball Manitoba.

Anyone interested in Hosting the program for your area, please contact your League President.

Starting in May, Baseball Canada will select one player per province per week to crown

Rally Cap Player of the Week

Any parent, coach, administrator, fan or friend can nominate a young player each week. Simply fill in the nomination form making sure you include the player's picture in their Rally Cap.
