Team Schedule

The Spartans 23-24 season will run from mid-August - early May. 

Payment Schedule

The Spartans are a volunteer run non-profit organization with 501c3 tax exempt status. All funds submitted to the Spartans are used to support the team's needs, including practice fields, pitching coach, batting cages, and fees for tournaments. 

The Spartan team fees will be due as follows:

8/1 - 2023-24 club fees of $650 due - This cost includes 2 uniform shirts, 1 hat, and 2 practice jerseys. In addition, the club fees will cover team registration with USSSA,  and our first couple months of practice field reservations. 

Monthly team fees of $165 will be due on the first of the month from September through April. 

Tournaments & Level

We will play in 15 tournaments in the 23-24 season (weather permitting). All tournaments will be in the Phoenix Metro area. We plan to start the season at the AA level. Considering our success last season, we expect to move into the AAA level during the 23-24 season.

Player Development

We are committed to developing our players at multiple positions across the diamond. Players receive regular reps in the infield and outfield, and all players receive pitching instruction from our pitching coach.

Pitching Coach

MLB pitcher Ryan Castellani is confirmed to be our pitching coach this season. He will join our regularly scheduled team practice every other week to provide group and individual level pitching  instruction. 

Practices

We will have 2-3 practices per week from mid-August - April. 2 weekly practices will be full team practices, 1 practice will be individual/small group/position work.

Practice locations are TBD, but we focus on fields in the NW Valley, including Foothills Park, Victory Lane, Thunderbird Sports Complex, Paseo Highlands, & Rio Vista. As a 13u team, we will likely practice later in the evening, from 730 - 930, though these times won’t be confirmed until individual practices are scheduled. 

School Ball

At 13u, we understand many of our boys will represent their junior high school baseball teams during this season. We are committed to providing flexibility for those players to do so.
