Canes cubs 6u-10U
CANES CUBS TO OUR YOUTH TEAMS; At these stages of a player’s development, we emphasize building baseball and softball knowledge alongside fundamental skills. This is not the time for players to limit themselves to one position; instead, we encourage versatility by developing skills across multiple positions. We also focus on instilling mental toughness, which is essential for success both on the field and in life.
YOUTH: 11u - 12U
Our Cubs and Youth teams are taught to compete in every game while honing their skills, however we prioritize development over chasing trophies. As players and teams grow, wins will naturally follow. We are in it for the long haul and and focused on building a strong foundation early on for our athletes which they later leverage to succeed at higher levels.
Prospect: 13U - 18u
As our athlete's age up from the middle school era on to high school, there is a distinct shift in our priorities. As our athletes advance, they face higher-level competition, and our coaches focus on refining their skills. We emphasize mental preparation and game-time toughness, equipping hitters, pitchers, and defensive specialists for success as they enter high school and the college showcase circuit. One of our separators is our belief in practice and teamwork within our program to give players the best chance for growth.
We prioritize education on arm care, and provide access to tools and people that facilitate effective training. Our teams are always preparing to compete in high school showcase tournaments, giving players valuable knowledge and experience to help them excel at the next level.
Another uniqueness to Canes is our ability to give athletes opportunities to compete on a local, region and national level. We take pride in our athletes shining on the biggest stages by providing them exposure to college coaches and opportunities to play at college campuses.
During the summer, we focus on playing a competitive schedule while the fall season centers around playing some tournaments, with special attention to player development that helps players make their biggest jumps by offering Canes Combine trainings that accelerate skill development, and mental mindset. We also prioritize attending college-specific Canes Only Scout Days in the fall along with college prep workshops. Throughout the winter, our best-in-class schedule keeps athletes in shape and ready for their high school season, including helping players learn how to take charge of their recruitment journey.
At Canes, no resource is out of reach for our players. Our system is proven, and we have a high return rate of former players who come back as coaches, reflecting the valuable experiences and pride they felt while wearing the “C”.
