Fall Baseball Development Program
In partnership with the Wisconsin Rivercats
About The Program
The Warhawk Fall Baseball Development Program was formed in conjunction with RiverCats Baseball for players who seek to play competitive baseball in a sportsmanlike environment. A baseball clinic on the first day and lecture/demonstration throughout have been added to provide both coaches and players additional knowledge to assist in future development.
This is a team format. Complete team registrations are preferred. If you register as an individual, we will attempt to place you on a team, but team placement cannot be guaranteed.
