About the Dawgs

We are a Travel/Tournament Baseball Organization Established in 2009. We started with a 10u team and we now have 6 teams an 8u, 9u, 10u, 11u, 12u & 13u. The Devil Dawgs Organization was founded so that all kids have the opportunity to play travel baseball. We will play in baseball tournaments primarily in the Sacramento, San Francisco, Stockton areas & possibly in other areas as well.

We are a Non-Profit Organization so our funding comes from donations, fundraisers and the parents of the kids who play on the teams.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of baseball to the kids in our organization as well as our community. We believe that we can help in the development of strong, disciplined, self assured youth. By supporting the mental and physical growth of our children, we believe that today’s youth can become positive, strong, ambitious leaders of our society. By playing Travel/Tournament Baseball, which plays primarily by High School Baseball Rules we hope kids will exceed at baseball & hopefully give them the edge to be selected to play with their local high school teams when they tryout.

With playing travel/tournament baseball comes great responsibility. The main responsibility of the player is education. Always take education serious and remember it comes before anything else. This is why you are called a STUDENT ATHLETE not an athlete student.

Dimensions for Travel Ball

The 14u - 18u's play on 90' base lengths and 60' pitching mounds 14u's can also play on the 54' -80' dimensions, the 13u's will play on 80' base lengths and 54' pitching mounds, the 11u and 12u's will play on 70' base lengths and 50' pitching mound length and 9u and 10u will play on 65' base lengths and 46' (10u) and 44' (9u) pitching mound length this means there are leadoffs, pickoffs and open base stealing. The 8u's play on 60' bases and 40' pitching mound.

We also teach the community kids by holding yearly baseball clinics open to all who wish to attend.

How Baseball was Invented

Baseball is a popular sport in the United States. In fact, it is often called our national pastime. Do you know how the game got started? Baseball was invented in America in 1845. But even before that, as early as the 1600s, people in England played a similar game called rounder's. The players on the other team tried to tag the runner by throwing the ball at him and hitting him with it! Ouch! This painful practice was called soaking the runner. Later, in the 1700s, men in the American colonies played their own version of rounder's. They called it town ball. Any young colonist who came to town for a meeting was allowed to play. Sometimes each team had as many as 25 players! And all 25 had to come to bat before the other team got a chance to hit!

As time went on, the popularity of town ball grew and grew . One man who loved to play the game was Alexander Cartwright. He used to play town ball every Sunday on a field in New York City. One Sunday in 1845, Cartwright came to the game very excited. He held a piece of paper with some new rules he had made up. He had also drawn a field shaped like a diamond, and called his new game baseball. How were Cartwright’s rules different from town ball? For one thing, batters would now use bats instead of paddles. Also, there would be four flat bases instead of posts. And each team could have only nine players.

One new rule that Cartwright made up was especially popular. From now on, fielders could not tag a runner by throwing the ball at him. Instead, the fielder had to throw the ball to another player, who would tag the runner or touch the base. Cartwright and his friends formed the first official baseball team, called the Knickerbocker Baseball Club. The first organized game was played in Hoboken, New Jersey, on June 19, 1846. The Knickerbockers faced a team called the New York Nines, who won the game 23 to 1. The baseball we play today still follows many of the rules Cartwright thought up in 1845. Of course, some rules have changed over the years. For example, in 1845, there were no balls or strikes. The batter simply told the pitcher what kind of pitch to throw. But now, it’s “three strikes and you’re out!” The next time you play baseball, or even if you just watch, think of the games inventor, Alexander Cartwright. He earned the title of “the father of organized baseball.”
