Move, Think, Train, Hustle—
with the Cedar Valley Rhythm Baseball Club.
We are a new baseball club based in Cedar Falls, Iowa, and we are looking for players who are passionate about baseball, coachable, want to improve, and are ready to work hard alongside teammates who share the same goals. We believe the best baseball players are developed—not naturals. Our mission is to help young athletes become confident, fundamentally sound, and highly athletic baseball players who love the game. Winning matters, but long-term player development always comes first. If you have an 9U eligible player looking for a team for the 2027 season, we would love to meet you.
The Rhythm Way
Movement is Key
Great baseball players are great athletes. Our training develops speed, agility, balance, coordination, body control, and explosive movement. We believe athleticism creates confident players and provides the foundation for long-term success on the field.
Baseball IQ
Athletic ability alone isn't enough. Players must understand the game to thrive and play confidently. We teach situational awareness, rules, strategy, and decision-making so players know what to do. With this, players also develop an appreciation of the game and a life-long passion for baseball.
Fundamentals and Skill Development
Great players move well and understand the game. They build confidence through repeated pattern recognition and deliberate skill development. We focus on mastering fundamentals and building skills through purposeful repetition, game-like scenarios, and instructional feedback.
Hustle, Grind, and Conviction
Our team culture, mentality, strategy, and identity are built on hustle and grind. But hustle is more than effort alone. We want players to act with conviction. When preparation, skill, and knowledge come together with a hustle ethic, players compete with confidence and conviction.
Coaching
At Rhythm Baseball we are committed to supporting every player. We understand baseball is a difficult game, and every athlete requires different types of instruction, support and encouragement. Our philosophy is to build confidence by creating an environment where every player feels they belong and can be successful. We believe that the greatest development occurs when players are both supported and challenged. We establish high expectations and provide the guidance needed to help players meet them. Athletes thrive when they are frequently and appropriately challenged while receiving the coaching and feedback needed to improve, compete, and play with confidence.
Team Commitment
Our plan is to field a 9U team to play in a fall league while preparing for a competitive spring and summer tournament season.In addition to baseball-specific training, we will focus on developing well-rounded athletes through age-appropriate indoor winter training designed to improve speed, agility, coordination, balance, core strength, and overall athleticism.
Fall & Spring Schedule
We will aim to practice two times per week when the weather is nice during the fall and spring. We will also play league games one day/evening per week.
Summer Schedule
During tournament season (late Spring–Summer) we will plan to practice two times per week, with games on Saturdays and Sundays.
Winter Schedule
During the winter we will meet two times per week for indoor training. This will include specific baseball skill development as well as training for movement and athleticism.
