Instructional Support
Our league-sponsored Coaching certification and new video resources make a wealth of professional instruction available to players and coaches. We have partnered with the MLB DiamondBacks for clinics and will be organizing other training opportunities.
Divisional Concepts
SCR has refined and developed the divisional make-up based on participation and level of play in order to provide the best playing experience for the players. Arizona, and particularly our area of the Valley has unique characteristics relevant to youth baseball. We are able to keep players in their age-appropriate divisions and provide levels of competition that keeps them challenged and learning.
Diversity
The size of our territory allows players to make new friends and find a level of competition that keeps the game fun and instructive. We have the largest leagues in the area so we have plenty of teams to play. This also prevents the need for players to ‘play up’ to find competition. ‘Playing up’ typically dilutes the play as players chase the divisions to find their level.
Stick Together
SCR allows teams to stay together with their coach from season to season. We allow siblings, friends and neighbors to play together and form a team if they wish. We also run a draft to develop teams and complete rosters. You can bring in a complete team if you have one or be placed through the draft.
Real Baseball
Cal Ripken Rules allow players to learn the real rules of baseball at a pace equal to their growth.
