Our Programs
NDG Baseball is dedicated to developing young athletes through the sport of baseball. We strive to teach the fundamentals of the game in a safe and fun environment, so that all players can develop to their full potential. We believe our sport is for children of all ages and skill levels and it's never too "late" to try something new.
Baseball involves a variety of skills, from throwing and catching to hitting and fielding. Players must develop these skills in order to be successful on the field. For 11U and up, pitching and catching are two positions requiring specific skill, all players are encouraged to practice and develop these skills to be game ready.

15U-18U
While equity of play is maintained, players begin to develop skills specific to individual positions and there is less rotation through positions. All players are offered the opportunity to practice pitching and catching if they wish to do so but they will only play in those positions in a game once the coach feels they have the skills required to do so. New players who have not played before are still welcome to join and will usually play on the B team where they will have a great opportunity to learn the game.
