Alberta Cal Ripken development program

Just like our High Performance Program, our Development Program offers players an opportunity to be seen and trained by professional coaches with a common goal to better the baseball culture in Alberta. This program is for 8-9 year olds and will focus on skill development and getting kids prepared for real baseball, lead offs, and pick offs. Players participating in the Development League will get a head start towards being a part of a system designed to focus on development, play with like-minded peers at similar ability levels, while still staying primarily within local areas. Players will be expected to be evaluated and will be drafted onto teams with a primary focus towards development and growth, as an athlete and a person.
