Information on the 9U Rookie Division
9U Rookie Division:
This division is primarily for 8/ 9 yr olds but some 7’s who have been in Rally Cap can move up early if parents deem it ok and some 10 yr olds who haven’t played before can also ask to play over aged. This age group is still very much a development age for players, coaches and umpires. There will be a couple of indoor sessions when the curling ice comes out of Sackville Sports Stadium, team selections are mid May with practices beginning late May & seasons run until early September.
Teams average two games and one practice a week with game nights varying from week to week (schedules issued beginning of season). Games are with other LWF 9U teams and we play at WJCC, Waverley Legion & Grand Lake fields.
Games at beginning of season are played with a pitching machine as the pitcher and gradually switch to kids/coach pitching using “gym” balls.
