Summer Travel Baseball
Travel Baseball Information
Overview
The OGRCC Travel Baseball program (formerly known as Thunder) is an elementary and middle school level program for intensive skill development that goes well beyond our recreational program. This program is for those families willing to commit time and energy to extend their Greenwich Spring season to improve their baseball skills, sportsmanship, and team dynamics. All while continuing to develop and improve the pride of the game of baseball. Our travel baseball program begins around mid-June and continues through early August.
A program highlight at the 12U level at attending one of the nation’s great youth sports events – Cooperstown Dreams Park.
