We started the Cannons to challenge the current model of travel baseball. Our mission is to give players a better way to play travel baseball, one that builds skills, confidence, and love for the game without burning out kids or families. We’re here to build strong players, strong teammates, and strong roots right here in the Shenandoah Valley.

The Birth of the Winchester Cannons

Our Journey Begins

In the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, the Winchester Cannons were created to give skilled local players a new opportunity — a chance to compete, develop, and grow without leaving their community behind. What began as a small pilot idea quickly showed its need; our very first roster filled in just two days, confirming that families were ready for a balanced, development-first option.

From the start, our mission has been clear: strengthen community baseball, build healthy local rivalries, and offer a program where proper fundamentals, steady progress, and the joy of the game come first. Players are encouraged to take pride in how they play, earn their reputation through effort and character, and grow into confident competitors who love the sport.

We are committed to keeping the Cannons accessible, ensuring that cost is never a hurdle for players who qualify for the team. Talent, work ethic, and character, not finances,  define opportunity here.

This pilot season is the beginning of something meaningful for baseball in the Valley. Thank you for trusting us with your player’s development and for allowing us to cheer beside your family. Together, we’re building something special, and laying the foundation for a program we hope will make an impact for years to come.

how we operate...

100% volunteer run

Our program is powered by volunteers who show up for the kids, giving their time and heart to build something meaningful for local families. Every member of our staff believes in strengthening baseball and creating a positive place for players to grow.

Independent club

We operate independently as a club, not through rec funding, giving us the flexibility to build a program that truly fits our players and families. This allows us to focus on development, balanced competition, and a team culture shaped by what’s best for our community.

local sponsors

We’re fortunate to be backed by generous local businesses and community partners who believe in what we’re building. Their support helps us keep costs accessible and strengthens our mission to grow youth baseball in the Shenandoah Valley.

Every Dollar to Team

All funds raised go directly toward player development, equipment, fields, and creating the best experience possible for our athletes. Every dollar is reinvested into the program to support the kids and the future of Cannons baseball.
