Junior Teams
2011 will see a Bronco team compete for the 1st time in over 10 years, the Team have decided to call themselves the Atoms and have been hard at work on pre-season training at St Johns School in Epping and now with a very generous donation from CLD Services Ltd we stand at just over half way to our £1000 target for the beginning of the season (check out their website at www.cld-services.co.uk)
Youth Team recent history
2010
saw the re-introduction of youth baseball at Essex Arrow, below was the 1st posts on our website and will remain on here just as a quick history of the inception of the teams
Essex Baseball Club in a jointly funded venture by Epping Forest District Council and Tube Lines are running training sessions Saturday mornings for prospective youth team players, between 11am and 1pm anyone 7-12 and between 1:15 and 3:15 anyone 13-16 will be made welcome, for the younger age group the training will be free up to and including July 18th from then the cost will be £3 per session, for the older age group the cost of all sessions is £3
Pony Team
Pony League baseball is designed for both boys and girls between the ages of 13 and 16, the Arrows have been unable to field a team in the Pony League since 2005 when 80% of the team we had all became too old at the same time, they left the club with a good history as in the 2003 season they were crowned Pony National Champions. We want to ensure that Essex Baseball Club has a strong future at all levels and this requires a strong and vibrant youth system
Until we can get enough young players within this age group all youngsters joining will be rostored with the Archers, but one day we hope to be able to field a team at all age levels
At present the youth teams are training with the adult teams.
Bronco Team
Bronco League baseball is designed for both boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 13, the Arrows have never fielded a Bronco team, but as I have stated above, the club will only get stronger with a good influx from the kids in our area.
