Development

Tryouts for the following year are held throughout the month of August with the following years teams announced soon after.

Many Scorpions players participate in our Fall Ball program offered through either East Coast or Hot Stove. The program runs for 5 weeks in September through early October. The program focuses on skill development and in-game situational skills.

Speed, Agility, Quickness, and Power class is available for our 9U and older teams and is mandatory for those athletes not playing a Fall sport. Our Speed and Agility program runs for 8 weeks in October and November. Players will participate in atleast 1-3 training sessions per week depending on age group.

All Scorpions players participate in our long throwing program which runs for 5 weeks starting in early November. The long toss program is once a week outdoors and is a critical part of preparing players arms for the upcoming season. Long toss sessions are typically held on Saturdays. Baseball skill work is often incorporated after throwing is complete.

Scorpions teams begin indoor workouts in December (for 8U through 12U teams) and January (for 13u and older teams). Each team will practice atleast once per week indoors at our facility. Pitchers will throw weekly bullpens as well. Indoor practices are typically 1:30 in length and will incorporate baserunning, hitting, and position-specific defensive skills. Pitchers and catchers will throw weekly bullpens on Saturdays.

Teams begin practice outside and will participate in a few selected early season tournaments. A East Coast or Hot Stove 5 or 10 game spring season is chosen by individual coaches by team.

Summer Season for all of our teams starts at the end of June or beginning of July and runs through early August. Teams will be competing in either the East Coast or Hot Stove 16-game Summer Season along with any planned tournaments set by each coach including Cooperstown or Ripken. All teams should expect to play a busy schedule with games during the week and on the weekend.

Summer Season playoffs for all ages are held in early August each year.

All Scorpions teams should expect to play through the middle of August, which marks the end of our season.
