ESC Li'l Howlers Indoor Baseball/softball (ages 3 to 8)

---

The Erie Sports Center Li'l Howlers Pups and Cubs indoor baseball/softball programs are designed to develop our youngest baseball/softball players in a fun environment. These programs allow young athletes to build fundamental skills and confidence while having fun doing drills that maximize their reps and keep them entertained while learning. It is our goal to help our youngest athletes build their skills during the offseason before they head back to their summer programs. This allows them to enter summer programs prepared and confident which will increase their likelihood of success.
