Coach Scot Baseball Sundays

Coach Scot Sunday Ball is a clinic-style format designed so that each player improves their skills physically, as well as their knowledge of the game and its rules. It is voluntary and unaffiliated and FREE. And more than anything, Sunday Baseball is F-U-N! Each week begins with fundamental instruction and drills, designed to improve all abilities for all skill levels. We work on fielding, catching, throwing, hitting, and specializations such as first base, pitcher and catcher. This is followed by a fun 'pickup' game.

Ages

Registration is for kids over the age of 7 and under the age of 14 during each season.

When

The sessions run every Sunday, with breaks between 'seasons' and for school holidays. There are different session times based on age and experience.

COST

In lieu of payment, for each season that kids are registered, they are required to participate in at least one Community Service project which we call Serve All and Play Ball. This can be one of our organized events, or one in your own neighborhood. Events on Roosevelt Island will be coordinated with a community-based organization with a few different options for days and times throughout the season.

What to Bring

Kids should bring their own hat, sneakers or cleats, glove, and helmet, if they have one. We have extra helmets, but we strongly recommend that all ballplayers have their own helmet that fits comfortably. You can buy them online or at Dick's Sporting Goods or on our CSB Swag website.

Boys who play the catcher position must wear protective cups. No metal cleats and no slides allowed. And always send water!

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if it rains?

We almost never cancel before Sunday due to a bad forecast, as sometimes they get it wrong, and our field dries pretty quickly.
If we do cancel on Sunday morning, we'll send an email. We usually don't send one if it is NOT cancelled. (Similar to an umpire yelling FOUL BALL. They don't say anything if the ball is NOT foul)
If the field is unplayable on Sunday morning, we email the Members as soon as possible. This can come as late as one hour before your session time or, in the case of an unexpected rain, even later.
If it is not raining and the field is playable before the first group begins, we head out to set up the field.
During the day, if rain makes the field unplayable, or in the case of thunder or lightning, we stop play immediately and instruct the kids to head home. We do not leave until the last kid has an exit plan and is off the field. Once we pack up the equipment and return home, we'll send an email updating the remaining groups. This can be up to 20 minutes after we abandon the field.
Those of you who come from off-island and may be enroute will have to decide if you think the forecast is worth making the trip. Remember, the choice is yours--and your kids--and Sunday ball is voluntary, no one gets penalized for missing a day due to weather.

What if we are traveling during the summer?

For summer sessions only: Go ahead and sign up your kid(s). Use the Comments section of the form to describe the dates that you cannot attend Sunday baseball. Many folks are traveling, and we can usually work around folks' schedules. But please do not sign up if you cannot commit to half of the Sundays, as space is limited.
