The Bulldogs are the travel baseball teams of the 78th Precinct Youth Council – from ages 8 to 16 & College. Each year we teams that begin in the Spring, except the 8 year old team which begins in the summer after playing in our intramural Pony division. Tryouts for the 8 year old team are in June. Players are expected to play in their age appropriate team. The age cutoff date is the date used by all major tournaments: April 30. Players must try out and be chosen to a team. No player is guaranteed to be chosen, even if he or she played on a Bulldog team in a prior year. Try-outs are an on-going process that begin with the weekly indoor skills sessions that run from December through mid-January. All players are welcome to attend the free winter practice/try-out sessions. However, all players must register on time and, if requested, attend the organization’s formal evaluations (the dates and places of which will be posted and/or emailed in January). By no later than mid-February the managers will chose their roster. Address all your questions to the Bulldog Director at bulldogs@78youthsports.org For more on how to register, click here to go to our FAQ section. Then click on question 5 of the Registration section. TIMETABLE OF KEY EVENTS - 2009 Season: Regular Spring Season: Mid-March through mid-July: In 1 or 2 leagues playing approximately 25 (if one league) - 45 games (if two leagues) regular season, followed by playoffs. Weekend and holiday tournaments are selected by the individual managers with costs to be shared by the players. Some teams also join a Summer or Fall league. Summer leagues begin mid to late July and run until Labor Day, some run into September. Fall leagues start after Labor day and run until late October.Fee: $315-Spring 2009 (In addition, the uniform must be purchased - approx. $125 but only if the prior year Bulldog uniform is no longer suitable.) Expect additional payments for extra batting and pitching coaches. Teams may play in additional tournaments. The fee only covers 1 league and 1 tournament fee or 2 league fees. Additional tournaments, uniforms, and all travel expenses are extra. For the Spring all players must register with the 78th Precinct Youth Council with all the other players, paying the intramural fee, then the balance when chosen on a Bulldog team. All Bulldog Spring teams will be selected in early February. Summer teams generally carry over most Spring players with some added as a result of special tryouts. An 8 year old team is formed in late June for the Summer. Thanks for your support. To contact the Bulldogs: bulldogs@78pyc.org Our philosophy was best stated by Minnesota Twin youth scout team, the New Jersey Twins: "Often player development becomes secondary due to the overall team goal of winning. By concentrating on the outcome of the game, players lose the ability to try new, more advanced techniques. In addition, we want players to learn to make their own decisions on the field while the game is in progress. By using this approach, players absorb the game through active learning, as opposed to a passive approach where they are told everything to do. The success of this philosophy is evidenced by the achievements of those who have already participated and graduated from the program."
