🌞 Summer Season at the Rustlers
🗓 Cheltenham Junior Training Schedule
Pre-season training: Fridays from 5 September to 3 October, 5:30–7:00 pm
Regular Wednesday training: Starts 8 October (time TBC, likely 5:30–7:00 pm)
Here’s what we’re planning to offer for the 2025-2026 season:
T-Ball – For kids new to baseball and/or under 9 years old. Played on Friday evenings alongside Rookie Ball, so siblings can all play on the same night.
Rookie Ball / Minors – Friday nights for kids 12 & under. A fun, development-focused competition where players continue to grow their skills.
Little League Major (formerly U12 State) – Sunday mornings at 11:05 am for baseball ages 9–12. This is a more competitive league for kids who already have a reasonable level of baseball skill. We may hold tryouts.
Friday Baseball for 11–14s – Depending on interest. Not a formal competition — could be friendly games or academy-style training. If interested, please ensure you select this option in the survey. There will be an additional cost for this option-TBD. (Note: 11–12-year-olds already playing Rookie Ball are unable to join this program.)

Senior League 70 – Baseball ages 13–14 (11:05 am start) – 70ft bases, 50ft pitching
