7U Rally Cap

The 6U/7U Rally Cap program is Baseball Canada’s Official Initiation Program for players aged 6 and 7. Players’ first experiences in baseball should be filled with active and engaging activities that are developmentally appropriate for their age. The Rally Cap program has been designed specifically for young baseball players and aims to
increase interest in baseball.

The goals of the Baseball Canada Rally Cap program are to:

The 6U/7U season starts early April and runs until the end-June at the Jamboree

During the season, the teams will be working on the 5 FUNdamentals of baseball.
