Concord Cannons Travel Baseball | Tryout Information

Developmental Program | Concord Cannons Lady Softball

The purpose of the Concord Cannons travel baseball program is to develop the younger athlete into a complete baseball player. We utilize our staff of professional instructors that will teach players how to train for and play at a highly-competitive level of baseball. Our program will not only focus on baseball instruction and training of our young athletes, but also stress the importance of achieving academic excellence in the classroom.

Our coaching staff is what separates us from other travel teams. Our coaches have played and coached at all levels of the game, with some playing in professional organization. The instruction they will provide from their playing experience cannot be matched by other travel programs. Our coaching staff will share their personal experiences growing up and playing baseball, and the importance of their dedication and hard work to achieving success on the field. Also, personal experiences will be shared regarding the importance of academics in having the opportunity to play at the collegiate level.

The Cannons program will begin in November with a baseball specific strength and conditioning program to increase player’s overall strength, fitness and injury prevention. In December Matt Tupman, former Kansas City Royals Catcher, will be designing and instructing specialty clinics available only for Concord Cannons players. Team workouts will begin practicing in January. For several months of practice sessions, teams at each age group will practice together and receive instruction and training from our experienced staff. Our primary goal in selecting teams at each age level will be to have equally strong teams in order to compete on the field, as well as provide opportunity to develop as a player. Our teams will have an opportunity to utilize Concord Sports Center’s indoor turf field, batting cages and gym area. Players will have an opportunity to play scrimmage games, as well as compete in indoor leagues. We will have played several games before starting our outdoor travel season. If selected to participate in our travel program, you will be provided with excellent training and instruction. Your obligation will be to work diligently to become a complete baseball player.

All Cannons teams participate in the top travel baseball league in New England; The New England Elite Baseball League. This new and exciting league will be comprised of the most talented teams in New England. The mission is to create a competitive league with a strong focus on structure and organization within the league. All teams will have a team page on the EBL website so they can promote their program, post team rosters, and update game scores and stats. All programs will benefit from this league because it will eliminate constant changes, cancelation, and the hassle of finding games last minute.
