LiL Sluggers Baseball (Ages 2-5)lil3

Maryland SportsPlex is proud to offer Lil Sluggers Baseball Programs for youth ages 2 - 5.

Philosophy

Lil Sluggers is a child development program created to introduce children ages 3-6 to the game of baseball. Lil Sluggers classes develop important baseball skills such as throwing, catching, hitting, and base running. Developmentally appropriate equipment and games are used to teach your child the game of baseball in a fun, exciting, and positive environment.

  • Lil Sluggers has small class sizes, maximum 6 students per class.

  • All classes are held indoors.

  • Each Lil Sluggers class lasts 45-50 minutes.

  • No equipment is necessary for 2 and 3 year olds.

  • For 4 and 5 year olds baseball gloves are recommended.

  • Ask about our no-obligation trial class.

  • Make-up classes are available.

  • We do private group classes.

Class Objectives

  • Simple base running and base recognition.

  • Hitting, focusing on proper stance and level swing to make contact with the ball off the tee.   Introduction to hitting from a pitch.

  • Throwing…point, step, and throw with proper motion and aim.
