Our Rookieball program is designed for players aged 8 and 9 (born in 2013 & 2014).

Games and practice times will vary between two (2) different days of the week. Games will be held at Ravina Park every Wednesday and Sunday between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Players are expected to arrive 20 minutes early to warm up and prepare for their games. The season will run from May until the mid September. Each player receives a uniform consisting of a fitted baseball cap, team jersey, pants, and ad belt.

The Game

Rookieball is a version of baseball that employs a pitching machine to pitch the ball to the batter. This helps batters learn batting skills without fear of being hit by an errant ball thrown by a pitcher. It is more advanced than Tball because players are hitting a moving ball. More baseball rules are introduced to the player at this level and additional baseball skills are developed. When at-bat, all players on the team get a turn at bat regardless of the number of outs that inning. Players who master rookieball skills early are encouraged to join the Mosquito division, a level up.

Coaches & Volunteers

Annette Baseball runs on the strength of support from its families and volunteers. Since 1988 our small neighborhood has produced a program of House League baseball that is second to none, and that has recently produced two sets of Ontario Champions at the Select Level.

Having missed a season of baseball, we remain in need of coaching volunteers and parent assistance to keep this proud tradition going. Many thanks to those of you who have already reached out. In addition to coaches, we are in need of parents willing to pitch in with things like spraying shared equipment with disinfectant at the end of games, ensuring that players get on and off the field at their designated times, posting games scores on teamsnap and the Annette website, etc.. If you are able to help in any capacity – coaching or organizational please let us know directly at annettestreetbaseball@gmail.com.

Apart from a general knowledge of the rules of the game, no particular baseball knowledge or expertise is required to volunteer or be effective as a coach. The role mainly requires interest and a relatively modest time commitment.
