Starting in October, a flexible, focused Off-Season Training Program will be offered to all Whitecaps players and is open to the general public. Sessions include training in pitching, hitting, catching and overall athletic conditioning. Whitecaps player fees do not include this program, but Whitecaps players will receive a discounted rate on their sessions. This program is not required for players, but coaches strongly recommend participation, as the players who participate have a baseball-ready edge once team practices begin in January.
There will be indoor pre-season practices starting in January. Practices will move outdoors when weather allows, typically in mid- to late-April. The head coaches of each team will lead these practices.
Our practices will move outdoors as soon as the weather and field conditions permit. We will practice, scrimmage or play a league game typically two times per week. This will help us focus on the development of the player’s skills by using mass repetitions during practices, while gaining important situational game play experience as well.
League Play: Games are during the week and may or may not take the place of a practice day.
Tournaments: We will sign up for regional tournaments depending on teams’ overall schedules.
The season will typically end in the middle or end of July. Please plan summer camps and family vacations after the 20th of July.
