Spring Baseball Program (February - May)
We assume all Hawks players will continue with our Spring program in February, unless otherwise communicated by mid-January. Any questions, please reach out to Coach Mark.
Our innovative Spring program is designed around what is best for players (always our mission) and keeping our teams together to continue their baseball family experience, together.
We have a plan for all of our Hawks families and players! Find the information specific to your player below...
12U - 14U
Full Baseball Program
For all of our older teams, we make travel ball the priority as players get closer to competing in high school baseball. Some players may choose to play Little League to get extra reps, but our goal is to get players ready for high school baseball and beyond (not the priority for rec baseball). We do make some accommodations for All Stars.
Having said all of that, if playing high school baseball and beyond is the #1 goal for your player, we caution against overuse (leads to injuries) during these formative growing years, especially 13U and 14U. Ideally, these players would focus their extra time (in additional to their Hawks program) on speed, agility, strength, lessons, clinics, and maybe even play another sport recreationally.
We do expect our 12U - 14U Hawks players prioritize their travel ball games over rec games, and travel ball practices over rec practices.
For many 12U players, the Spring season is their ramp up to a Summer Cooperstown experience trip and tournament.

7U - 11U
Sunday Only Program + Flex Program
Focus on Sunday game action and 1 day tournaments, with flexible weekday training options.
After a full, active program January, we start to transition to a more flexible program in February (through May) for our younger teams.
Hawks Baseball always has and always will support local community-based baseball (Little League, PONY), including the All Stars experience. We design our program around that support and are also an active sponsor for multiple local leagues. The goals when designing our program are to avoid burn out, injuries and expensive long term commitments that other programs require, while keeping your fun Hawks team experience going.
Having said that, if your 8U - 11U player is NOT doing Little League or PONY, please let Coach Mark know, and he will help you with a plan that will optimize your player's baseball and athletic development.
The cost is only $295 per player for the entire Spring season (excluding tournaments). This is significantly less than what other programs ask their players to commit to during a season where many players also play Little League or PONY baseball.
Many of our teams go to Arizona for a Spring Training tournament in March!
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Is the Spring Program Open to New Hawks Players?
Yes!
The success of the San Diego Hawks baseball program is in large part because of referrals we get for new players and other great families to become a part of our baseball family. If you have heard about our Hawks program and are interested in joining, please reach out today.
