Spring Training is the term given to the exhibition and practice games played by Major League Baseball teams before the beginning of regular baseball season. It typically lasts for two months, taking its start in mid February and continuing till the first week of April usually, ending just before the opening day of regular season for baseball. Catchers and Pitchers start spring training about one to two weeks prior to the rest of the team, owing to the fact that they need extensive training and practice as these positions demand more skill and stamina than the rest. They are joined by rest of the teammates a couple of weeks later, and regular spring training commences. During training, the teams wear their batting practice uniforms and save their regular jerseys until opening day of regular season. One of the reasons for spring training popularity is the fact that it falls in more or less the same time of year when most of the educational institutions are closed for spring break. This allows baseball fans to travel to the temperate areas in their holidays to enjoy their favorite teams practice for the regular season. Spring training is generally considered an opportunity for the new and emerging players to prove themselves and get noticed by the officials to be picked up and put on roster for regular season, while regular players practice during this time and make themselves ready for the competitive season ahead of them.
