What is the difference between the programs? 
Ans:  The Winter/Spring Baseball Training Program that leads into our Season, is a program designed to help children develop thier skills even before they step on the field.   The training sessions starting in Febraury, ran by the President of the League, teaching the kids basic skills, like throwing the ball, catching, and feilding.   Then they move into team training at an indoor facility which is ran by the facility using thier instructors to help hone those skills on a more indepth program.   This runs from March through May.   Then Starting in April, the kids take what they learn from the program and put those skills to work during the game season.   They will end thier program with one weekend tournament paid by the league. 
The Rec Season, is much simpler.  It begins in April and runs  until Father's Day in June.  The scheduel is mostly games, with here and there practices set by the coaches.
