Intro to Travel Baseball

New Canaan Travel Baseball has launched an introductory program for our 7-year old age group. The fundamental goal of this program is to understand the increased speed of the game and positional work in a controlled setting. 

Aspects like live pitching, baserunning, live at-bats, etc. all are incorporated into drills and practices throughout the winter to prepare these players for a competitive game setting.

The program is geared toward players seeking an advanced skill development platform and would be interested in being considered for the 7U summer travel team.

Eligible players must turn 7 on or before April 30.

This is a supplemental program for 7U players in addition to spring rec baseball. It is recommended, but not required, for players to also participate in New Canaan Spring Rec Baseball. Registrations for New Canaan Spring Rec will open in late January/early February.

Winter Clinic

For 2026, the clinic will run for seven sessions at Bobby Valentine’s Sports Academy in Stamford on the following days/times:

  • 2/28 (Saturday), 5-7p
  • 3/9 (Monday), 5-6p
  • 3/14 (Saturday), 3-5p
  • 3/21 (Saturday), 3-5p
  • 3/23 (Monday), 5-7p
  • 3/28 (Saturday), 4-5p
  • 3/30 (Monday), 5-7p

Spring Session

Starting on April 12, this program will meet on Sundays at Coppo Field (home of New Canaan High School varsity baseball) for outdoor workouts and intrasquad scrimmages.

(The Spring session is in addition to, and does not replace or conflict with, New Canaan Spring Rec Baseball.)

Summer Session

The Summer team will be determined based on participation levels, ability and readiness to compete in game settings. The team will then play a multi-game travel schedule against other towns in June and July.
