Cannons 2023 Fall Baseball Program
Cannons Fall teams play a combined schedule of tournaments and league games in the Greater Hudson Valley Baseball League. All teams also practice 1-2 times per week. Age groups will be determined based on players who register and commit to the season.
The Cannons will field teams at each level where sufficient number of players register - including a 13u team for players coming out of Cal Ripken/Thunder for the first time. In the fall, teams play in their Spring 2024 age group.

Players should try to attend both days.
Registration is open now. Players on 2023 Cannons summer rosters are given first priority for fall teams. Once we have firm commitments from Cannons families, invitations can be extended to additional players interested in the program.
To ensure the season is a success, we will require full commitment and payment from at least 13 players per team. There are no geographic restriuctions for Cannons fall teams. We welcome players from Greenwich and surrounding areas.
Commitment Expectations:
The Cannons always tries to be as flexible as possible with our families. We support and endorse kids playing multiple sports and pursuing as many passions as possible.
Cannons policy is that Cannons events must take priority over other sports that season. If a player will be in a position where he can attend baseball events only when they don't conflict with other sports, then we encourage you to focus on the other sport. Players can play other sports, but Cannons events must take priority. This policy is based on the commitment we make to our player's families - as well as to our opponents.
During prior fall seasons when players have tried to participate in other sports it has been extremely challenging to field a complete team for practices, games, and tournaments. Kids also become more fatigued, and tend to develop injuries more frequently.
The Cannons is a serious baseball experience. Practices are fast-paced. In addition to skill development, Coaches teach all aspects of the game - proper cutoffs, bunt defenses, holding runners on base, effective leading and stealing, defensive positioning, bullpen work for pitchers and catchers, fielding preparation and execution for infielders, and much more. All of this education and training is not possible if players miss practice due to conflicts with other sports. Needless to say, you cannot practice bunt defense if your first and third basemen are not at practice.
Fee for the fall program is determined based on roster size. Fees cover tournament fees, coaches salaries and travel, Greenwich field usage fees, insurance, baseballs, uniform and umpire costs.
