Baseball Program Information

This spring, Eagles Baseball begins its eighth year of high school baseball under KASHAA. We begin in March and run through early May, with an emphasis on refining our baseball skills through repetitive drills, practice and games. The team is made up of homeschool students from around the area (freshman through senior).

This is high school baseball. We compete against public school JV teams like Southeast of Saline Trojans and Clay Center Tigers as well as homeschool teams like the Defenders, and a few private schools too, like Heritage Christian.

***Player fee: $100.00. Player provides gray baseball pants, black belt, cleats and a glove. We have an assortment of bats, along with other baseball gear. We will wear our maroon jerseys on the road and at home. Each player receives a team hat to keep.***

Initial practice schedule (also on the online calendar):

Practices are 2:50pm-4:30pm at Sunset Park and home games are played at Pestinger Family Field (formerly Wilbur Field); both are in Salina.

Monday March 3 is our first practice (SVHE basketball players may join after their season).

The rest of the practice schedule will be released as we head into the first game of the season on March 18th with St. Mary’s Academy. They will be updated on this page via the Google calendar.

***Throughout the spring, some voluntary batting practice days will be held at Sunset Park in Salina or Eagle Park near Lindsborg on our farm (on some Saturdays or off days as weather and schedules permit.) They are not mandatory, just held for extra hitting time and fellowship***

All plans are subject to weather. We will see what early spring weather brings to our practice schedule and add from there. We may have access to a warehouse on Broadway Blvd in Salina for bad weather days for indoor practices.

Coach Jeff Garretson enters his eighth season at the helm of the Eagles. Garretson played college baseball at Kansas Wesleyan University and the University of Northern Colorado. He has coached at the high school level in Colorado, as well as leading B and C Legion teams in the summer and youth rec league baseball teams for several years.

SVHE Baseball welcomes Paul Austin as a first year assistant coach with the Eagles. Mr. Austin brings years of baseball experience and a love for the game to our organization.
