The Bulldogs are the travel baseball teams of the 78th Precinct Youth Council – from ages 8 to 16 & College. Each year we teams that begin in the Spring, except the 8 year old team which begins in the summer after playing in our intramural Pony division. Tryouts for the 8 year old team are in June. Players are expected to play in their age appropriate team. The new age cutoff date is the date used by all major tournaments: April 30. Players must try out and be chosen to a team. No player is guaranteed to be chosen, even if he or she played on a Bulldog team in a prior year. Try-outs are an on-going process that begin with the weekly indoor skills sessions that run from December through mid-January. All players are welcome to attend the winter practice/try-out sessions. However, all players must register on time and, if requested, attend the organization’s formal evaluations (the dates and places of which will be posted and/or emailed in January By no later than mid-February the managers will chose their roster.

An 8 year old team is formed for the Summer. Currently all Spring 2009 Rosters have been filled. Thanks for your support. To contact the Bulldogs: bulldogs@78pyc.org Our philosophy was best stated by Minnesota Twin youth scout team, the New Jersey Twins: "Often player development becomes secondary due to the overall team goal of winning. By concentrating on the outcome of the game, players lose the ability to try new, more advanced techniques. In addition, we want players to learn to make their own decisions on the field while the game is in progress. By using this approach, players absorb the game through active learning, as opposed to a passive approach where they are told everything to do. The success of this philosophy is evidenced by the achievements of those who have already participated and graduated from the program."
