Ruffnecks Fall Baseball
Weekly Plans & Announcements

The 2024 Ruffnecks Fall Program provides weekly opportunities for returning players, new candidates, and non-Ruffnecks players to workout, play, and learn together.  All Fall sessions are on weekends.  Most are on Sundays.  The home base for activity is the New England Baseball Complex (NEBC) in Northborough.  This page provides a reference for weekly assignments, activity, and announcements.

13u Ruffnecks Fall Program

The 13u Fall Program is exclusively on Sundays.  Roll Call for attendance is usually requested by the Monday prior to the scheduled Sunday session.  Assignments are posted by Thursdays.

Announcements
13U Week #2 – Sunday, September 15

  • 12:45pm – Report to Field 2 at NEBC (Field Change)
  • 1:00 to 2:15 – Drill Work: Fields 2 & 3

13U Fall Baseball: Week #2 Assignments (Posted 9/11)

Please check positional assignments.  There are two:  Pos 1 and Pos 2.  If a player wishes to take reps at a position other than the primary position (Pos 1), please indicate that preference in the weekly Roll Call email response to the 13u mailbox.  We plan each workout with adherence to instructive objectives.  There will be times the staff moves players during a workout to create balance in drill work or to encourage a player to expand his positional boundaries.

The Key to reading assignments follows:
  • X = Not attending
  • Pos 1 = Primary Position
  • Pos 2 = Secondary Position
  • Drill Grp = A1 or A2, B, or C
  • TEAM = 1, 2, 3
  • Assignments = Field assignment for 1st Hour.  2nd Hour everyone is on Field 2

HS Wood Bat & College Prep Programs

We conduct our HS Wood Bat and College Prep programs in a weekly Red v. Blue format.  Roll Calls are usually sent on Sunday evenings after the weekly workout.  Responses are due by Monday or Tuesday.  We encourage players to be available for multiple sessions.  If there are non-negotiable time constraints, please let us know.  Most activity is at the New Engalnd Baseball Complex (NEBC).  Some activity may be located at The Roxbury Latin School in West Roxbury.  Sessions may include games vs. non-Ruffnecks opponents.  HS Wood Bat and College Prep participants may intermix at times.  We consider competitive parity and instructional objectives on a weekly basis.
