BATTING CLINIC UPDATE

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED-EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

Due to an overwhelming response to the clinic, we must close registration but are starting a WAIT LIST.   If you are registered and cannot attend please notify us by email ASAP so we can add someone from the time stamped wait list.  

Thanks to everyone for responding so quickly to the survey regarding the batting clinic.  As of this post all 221 registered members/players of WECSSO have received the survey or been contacted in person if no email existed.

To date 66 members have signed up to attend the batting clinic.  The breakdown is as follows:  Red – 20 players          Blue – 23 players          Green – 23 players

The batting instructors and pitchers for the clinic are our WECSSO players.  The general idea is to have different batting stations and batting practice.  This allows our pitchers to get some pre-season warmup as well.  

Bats and balls will be provided but feel free to bring your own bat if you choose.  Bring your glove to assist with fielding balls.

We are encouraging members to bring their cell phones for personal batting videos.  Error detection, tips and corrections will improve batting success.  

WECSSO is covering the cost of the clinic.  

Any questions contact :  Gord Hillman- inbiz@protonmail.com  Aldo Bertucci – aldobertucci@gmail.com or Patti Mouland- pattimouland@gmail.com

Looking forward to a new and exciting pre-season activity!  Click on the Flyer link below for more information.

Which Division Should I Play In?

The WECSSO baseball league is made up of players age 55 or older, most of whom are retired. Wanting to provide for friendly competition in a safe environment, the WECSSO Board of Directors have divided the league into three divisions, based on players with similar skill and competitive levels. Another consideration is preference for days of play. All games are played at the Ciociaro Softball Complex, off of North Talbot Rd. Batting practice and warm ups are from 9:00 to 9:45am. Infield practice is from 9:45 to 10:00am, with the games starting at 10:00am.

   The Red division plays on Monday and Wednesday mornings. It is mostly comprised of the more highly skilled and experienced players. Often these players have played some level of competitive baseball most of their lives. A lot of these players tend to be on the younger end of the age scale.

  The Blue division plays on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. This division also has many capable and skilled players. But more players are of average skill level and less competitive experience. They may not hit the ball as hard or throw the ball as hard as the players in the Red division. 

   The Green division plays on Monday and Wednesday mornings. This division is made up of players who maybe, because of age or a nagging injury, have lost a step or two. The desire to play and compete is still there though. Also, this is a good division for people who have never played baseball very much, but want to come out and try.
