7U (Rally Cap):
7U (formerly known as Rally Cap or T-Ball) Division baseball is for players 4 - 7 years old (see registration page as it is based on birth year) who are interested in learning the basic fundamentals and wish to get an introduction to the skills of baseball within a recreational baseball program. This is accomplished by stressing and maintaining active participation by all players during the game of baseball played in accordance with the Official Rules of Baseball, by Baseball Canada with the incorporation of the rules contained in the official SAMBA-Baseball Handbook. Being a developmental level of baseball, focus is towards knowledge, good sportsmanship, and fair play; all players are rotated and given opportunity to play various positions during the course of each game.
Games and Practices:
Played twice per week (5 pm to 6 pm and 6:15 pm to 7:15 pm) either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday these times are for the May and June season only. Practices will be held on the first day of the week, followed by a game on the second. A Rally Cap Evaluation Day is scheduled prior to the end of May and a Year End tournament is scheduled following completion of regular season play prior to the end of June.
If you have registered for the Summer League the time is 6 pm to 7 pm.
Player Evaluations:
SAMBA will do their best to provide a level of balance in the selection of House League teams without performing player evaluations at this level. At the House League level, SAMBA supports players requesting to play underage in a higher division of ball pending their level of skill/experience or specific circumstances such as playing with a sibling. A Rally Cap player wishing to play at the 9U Level must attend an evaluation to ensure an assessment is completed and the level of play is deemed appropriate. As part of the on-line league registration process, please identify your request in the "Special Requests" area then contact the House League Director to ensure your request is noted and further details are provided. The respective division homepages will contain all information related to assessment dates and timings, once evaluated and if accepted you will be subject to that respective division's registration fee.
