NEW PLAYERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!
OPEN PLAY BASEBALL
When we started in Spring 2022, we were a small group of just five or six people who got together every now and then to throw the ball around, take some swings, and reconnect with the game we love. Over the years, these outings became more organized, consistent, and popular with our group of ballplayers. As a result, we now host open play on a weekly, and sometimes twice-weekly, basis.
Inspired by the nostalgia and friendly, carefree energy of a backyard ballgame, open play brings our community of ballplayers together. Most open play outings turn into pickup games consisting of mashup teams created from whoever shows up, but they can also be casual practices or batting practice sessions. Regardless of what the day becomes, open play gives our players the opportunity to meet new people, polish their baseball skills, and enjoy a few hours on the diamond with good people who love the game.
We consider open play to be the entry point for new players to our club and the introduction to our style of casual, laid-back baseball. New players looking to get involved with one of our teams will be expected to attend a few open play sessions to meet our players and our team captains before joining a team.
No specific baseball background or experience is required to sign up andplay. All we’re looking for are good people who consistently participate, show a willingness to improve their game, make positive contributions to our club, and demonstrate a strong desire to help our community grow. If you’re interested in playing with us, please fill out the sign-up form located on the Join page.
