12U Schedule TBA- Looking at the weekends that are in between the 11U games.

We practice once a week on weeks we do not play and twice a week on weeks we do play.  We participate in  athlete development training at Apex in Columbia on a regular basis.  We typically practice on Thursdays 6-8 and Sunday 2-4.

Parents pay a $50 registration fee .  Cost for uniforms vary based upon what type team wants, this can range from $75 to $250 depending on what you want to get.  Practices cost $20 a practice. Games cost $50 a weekend unless we play in an out of town event and they can cost $75 to $100 depending on what we have planned.  Video Tagg is $150 a player and this provides the ability to follow every game live via iScore and to have every game videoed and stored for developmental purposes.  Live in game footage is used for instructional purposes in addition to capturing every special moment of each players journey.   All players will be tested with ACE testing and Hitter Handicap.  Players complete a Daily Athletic Performance Survey and we build and track performance with our Baseball Management System.  If you are not testing...YOU ARE GUESSING! 

We have the most sophisticated Baseball Management System available and manage all communications with this system.  All players are tested and re-tested regularly to follow progressive development. We do daily athletic performance surveys and players keep an activity log.  We provide a confidence and consistency training course to be sure we give all the resources necessary for development and growth. 

Kelly Ahrens will be responsible for all development with every player in the organization.  He will be responsible for training all coaches and support staff.  Kelly is full time Head Coach of the 11U Stars and Stripes Team and will assist a selected coach for the 12U program.  The 11U and 12U team will practice together and Kelly Ahrens will be running those practices and assisted by Head Coach of the 12U team. 

Our team will bat the entire line up and will have free substitution with no one player sitting out more than one inning at a time.  Pitchers will be limited to pitch counts of 75 in a game. We do not throw curve balls only fastballs and change ups.  We utilize the entire team in pitching so we allow everyone the chance to develop and protect the arms of all of our players. 

Stars and Stripes Sports is made up of a family of dedicated and committed baseball and softball players. Stars and Stripes Sports is a nationally recognized organization who had taken players all over the United States , Cuba, Dominican Republic to be challenged in their development.  We have National Teams, Regional Teams, All American Teams and State Teams surpassing over 20,000 families participating in our program over the last 20 years. Once you are  a part of our family, you will always enjoy the benefits of a sports eco-system that supports one another.
