2025 Coach Pitch
Welcome to GBA Coach Pitch! The 2025 vice president of Coach Pitch is Zack Weston. You may contact him directly at zeewest8@yahoo.com. Spring 2025 registration for Coach Pitch will be open November 29, 2024 through February 14, 2025. No late registrations will be processed.
​​​
The registration fee for spring 2025 Coach Pitch is $30, with a sale of a $10 discount Nov. 29th through Dec. 9th. If you have concerns regarding the registration fee, please contact Zack. GBA is committed to ensuring all players are able to play this season.
​
Coach Pitch is open to boys and girls age 5 or 6 on April 30, 2025. In other words, their birthdays fall between May 1, 2018 and April 30, 2020. We do not hold try-outs for Coach Pitch and all skill levels are welcome to register. However, if your 5-year-old child is not quite ready for Coach Pitch, we encourage you to sign them up for T-ball Little Sluggers instead. Age 5 is a flexible year for GBA registration, so please pick the best level for your player.
Coach Pitch at GBA is an in-house rec program. GBA teams will play other GBA teams in a regular season, and a short playoff and championship series. The season runs April through June. Weather and make-up games will dictate the final length/end-date of the season.
​
When batting, all players will be pitched to by their coach. At this level, we use foam core baseballs for your child's safety.
​
Schedules will be determined closer to the start of the season. Typically, players can expect at least 1 practice and 1 game a week. Your player's coach will communicate with you directly about practice schedules.
​
There is a service/fundraising duty for all families of GBA players. For each player you register, you will need to work 2 pop stand shifts (usually 1.5 hours each shift). If you do not want to work the pop stand, you will have to pay a $50 opt-out fee per child when registering. The Pop Stand schedule will be assigned, although you may trade your assigned shift with another family. Each player will also be responsible for a $10.00 contribution to basket raffles for All-Star Day in June.
