Mission
Fountain City Recreation Commission (FCRC) believes that the pursuit of excellence in the areas of academics and sports helps develop maturity and self-confidence. We believe that the experiences a player has with Fountain City's programs will be beneficial throughout his or her lifetime.
The focus of Fountain City Recreation Commission is the development of not only the player, but also the person. Our goal is to maximize the development of the individual through programming that challenges each player and a coaching staff that adheres to high standards. FCRC is resolute in dedicating its time and resources
to the technical, tactical, physical, and psychological aspects of playing team sports.
Offered Programs
|
Recreational Baseball:
The primary objective of the Recreational program is to enable players to learn the game in a fun and stimulating environment. The focus is on developing their skills to help them be the best players they can be, while maintaining a healthy approach to competitive play. Players of all skill levels are encouraged to participate. All players are accepted. Teams are formed by draft to maximize team parity in each league.
Spring Baseball Season: Registration typically opens up the first week of January, and games begin the first weekend in April, unless that is Easter Weekend, with our Season Opening Tournament. The goal each season is for each team to play in at least 10 games, whether that is 10 regular season games, or 7 regular season and 3 tournament games, or whatever combination helps us get everyone to 10 games. Weather sometimes causes chaos for this, but we do strive to hit the 10-game mark for everyone. Each team also gets two practice times per week, weather permitting. A jersey and hat are included in registration fees for all divisions. We strive to keep the fees as low as possible and still maintain good umpires, fields, and facilities.
Fall Baseball Season: Registration begins mid-summer, typically, and Games begin the week after Labor Day. Fall season is more for skill building in game situations and less about the competition. We do have a season ending tournament to allow for a display of progress for each team in a semi-competitive format. Uniforms are included in registration fees. We strive to keep the fees as low as possible and still maintain good umpires, fields and facilities.
