For the first time, Windsor will play host for the 2012 - 12 year old State Tournament (All Stars).  Approximately 10 teams will pariticipate, including Rohnert Park, Napa, Elk Grove, Galt, San Leandro...to name just a few - all local Cal Ripken leagues.  Come watch some great baseball.

Location:  Keiser Park, Fields A and B

Would like to help at this event by volunteering a hour, a day, or more?  We expect to have 4 games on Sat and Sun with two games on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and ending with the championship game on Friday. (no games on Tues as park will be closed in honor of our July 3rd fireworks event.)

There are several areas where we will be looking for help, but not limited to:

• scorekeepers
• announcer
• snack shack
• souvenir sales table

In a few weeks, we will be opening a registration link, much like when you registered your player, so you can sign in to let us know that you would like to take part in this exciting event and where you might want to help.

Mark your calendars. 

Be sure to check out this page to view the "Sponsor of the Week".

Each week we will highlight one of our Grand Slam sponsors who have elected to purchase an outfield banner and support a team within one of the divisions. Their generosity deserves recognition.

If at all possible, we ask our families to seek out these sources to meet their particular needs.

Thank you. 

During the last 4 years, having moved away from Little League, our main goal has been to offer real baseball to our kids as early as possible. To that end, we followed a simple placement method: basic skills went to Machine Pitch, average skills to 1/2 player/1/2 machine pitch and the more advanced to Player Pitch only. We purposely advanced our players up through the different levels based on their skills so that in some cases we had younger kids playing with older kids.  In talking to the high school, we learned that the entering freshman just didn't know or understand baseball concepts.  We understood that we needed to do a better job of preparing our players to play at the next level while still offering a recreational experience for all.  Our current crop of entering freshmen are better prepared than their predecesors and are a testament to our program.

This year, our registration numbers are greater than ever, not only in the younger 5-7 year old group but especially in the 8-10 year old age group.  After reviewing our numbers and the assessment results which brought to light the wide range of abilities we have decided to increase our Minor division from 3 levels to 4 to help us in placing kids at a skill level that will ensure more playing time thus more chances to develop their skills.

What does this mean? In essence, we have taken a potential 10 team - Minor AA division that would have had 8/9 year olds and split it up by age. We expect to field 5 or 6 teams per division.  The end result is better use of our fields by making the division smaller.  While you may think your child is repeating a level, that is not the case.

Rookie Ball - (5/6 year olds) No change.

Machine Pitch ( 7/8 ) Formerly Minor A, this level will be made up mostly of 7 year olds with a spill over of a few 6's and 8's.   The name is easy to remember and is what it says - a level where only the pitching machine is used.

Minor A ( 8/9 ) formerly Minor AA, now becomes the first level of player pitching.  Same rules apply as last year. Pitching mound remains at 40'.

Minor AA ( 9/10 ) remains Minor AA. Rules and guidelines are the same as last year, only now the pitching mound is set at 43'. This level will now provide the missing transition from the 40' to 46' mound in preparation for advancement to the AAA level. 

Minor AAA (10-12)  Rules and guildelines are the same; pitching mound is at 46ft, base paths at 65ft. If space allows, a FEW 9 year olds may petition for placement.

Majors (11-12)  Same rules and guidelines, pitching mound is 50ft with base paths at 70ft.

We apologize if this is confusing but we feel it will be the most beneficial to your child(ren) in order to develop their baseball skills and allow for a greater sense of personal success and accomplishment.

As we've mentioned, the main thing we like about our website is that it makes it easier to communicate with our members.  During the season, we send out emails to notify you of upcoming events, like Opening Day as well as notices about game changes.

Are you set up to receive text messages from us?
When you register, you will have the option to activate this feature.  Just provide your cell phone number and service provider.  We strongly recommend you provide this information for each player and parent in your family profile.  This will ensure you receive notices. such as game or practice changes or other late notice items such as rain delay or field changes.  It happens!!

Need to contact another parent/player but don't have their contact info?  Not a problem!
Information about each player/parent contact info is confidential and can only be viewed by another team member with the required 'team password'. This password is different for every team making your personal information that much more secure. What this means is that nothing can be seen by anyone who just happens to land on your team page.

When you register, you will have the option to select, Public, Roster or Private for your contact numbers.  We recommend that you identify at least one phone number as "Roster" so that it will appear on your Team page and allow other team members to contact you.  If you mark a number 'Private' no one will be able to see, not even the Coach.  Only the website Administrator or the President can view Private numbers. We also do not recommend Public, as it will be just that, Public.
