What to Bring
-
For practices, please bring your glove and a water for your child. If you have a helmet and bat, bring those, as well. Please label your child's gear with their name.
-
For games, please bring the same gear but also dress your child in their uniform. We will distribute uniforms as soon as they arrive.
Coaching Goals
-
It is our goal to help your child grow as a player and teammate. GBA aims to teach even our youngest players the basics of the game in a safe and supportive environment.
-
For the White Sox, we will frame our goals in three areas:
-
Baseball Safe (We will be careful with equipment like bats. We will pay attention so as not to be hurt by a thrown/hit ball. We will be kind to others and encourage teammates.)​
-
Baseball Smart (We will learn basics like how to run the bases in order, where and how to throw to first/field, and how to properly swing for hitting.)
-
Baseball Strong (We will exercise and grow at age-appropriate levels. We will learn to adapt and keep trying when frustrated.)
-
-
Please help reinforce safety and good listening practices with your child. Parental support is key to making sure all kids have fun and grow as ball players.
-
If you would like to help at practices or assistant coach, please let Coach Emily know. Help is always welcome! ​
