Little Hawks Baseball: About Us…The Iowa City
Little Hawks youth baseball program was established in 2010 to promote baseball
in the City High district and serve as the official feeder system for City High
baseball. Our main goal is to develop
baseball fundamentals, instill outstanding sportsmanship and get the boys
excited about playing high school ball.
In the first year, the
league had seven teams ranging from 9U to 12U, which included 3 – 9U teams, 2 –
10U teams, and 1-11U and 1- 12U team. In 2011, the league plans to expand to 12
teams. The league was formed, and practices began in January, in the dead of
Iowa winter. Our teams started strong with batting practice inside our poll
barn hitting facility as well as school gyms and U of I practice facilities. We
didn’t care if it was winter. We wanted to play baseball!
The Little Hawks baseball youth
baseball program is for boys who plan to attend City High School. We are
competitive and we play in tough tournaments. We learn how to win gracefully,
and to lose with dignity. Character counts in Little Hawks baseball!
Little Hawks Baseball is about…
1. Teaching Good Fundamental baseball. Winning is the result…not the emphasis.
2. Running a top quality league. Follow the rules, wear our hats straight and tuck in our shirts. Represent the Little Hawks with Class.
3. Taking the game seriously, but we have fun.
4. Striving for constant improvement. Always looking for ways to be better. We can always do it better…having the humility to realize that. Learn from our losses and errors.
5. Always displaying good sportsmanship, having no public display of poor sportsmanship.
