T-Ball (Ages 4-5)
The age of the T-Ballers is 4 to 5 years of age. Here they learn the rules of the game and find out how to be a part of a team. One of the most important components of T-Ball is the emphasis on sportsmanship. We encourage the players to respect one another, and learn the names of the rest of the players on their team. We also go over the basic skills of throwing, hitting, fielding and rules.
The teams are made up of approx. thirteen players. Tee ball is played with a “soft” ball, a Tee, a glove and an aluminum tee ball bat. All players are constantly rotated between all positions and will experience every part of the game. It’s exciting, it’s fun, everyone hits every inning, and the kids really learn the game of baseball properly and safely.
