The Mavericks believe:
-multi-sport athletes make for better baseball players, will play sports longer, and are healthier (less injuries and burnout)
-youth baseball can be played between 6 – 8 months per year, dependent on age.
-great facilities combined with top level coaching is the best way to provide a fun environment that will help players reach their goals

The Fall is a time to continue the momentum from our summer season. After the completion of the summer season and a couple weeks off in late August we take advantage of Medicine Hat’s amazing weather. The Fall season is a time to further develop skills, perhaps try a new position and to continue our development as baseball players.
Do you have a specific pitch that you want to develop? Is there a mechanical change you want to make in our hitting? Do you need more ground balls at a new position?
The goal is to have two teams in each of the 10U and 12U age groups that will play a single game on Wednesdays and a double-header on Saturdays. If there only enough players for one team in each age group, games will be scheduled with other communities, so travel will be expected.
The Fall provides a low stress environment to experiment with these changes. For some, the Fall will provide much needed innings for pitchers who may not have received many innings in the summer. For all players, a structured throwing program for an additional 5 weeks provides much needed long toss before the winter off-season.
The Fall is an opportunity for individualized goals in a team setting. As you can imagine, these 5 weeks in the Fall provide much needed reps from our short Canadian Spring/ Summer. If you have goals as a baseball player, you’ll want to play with us in our Fall ball program!
