TEE BALL DIVISION

Tee-Ball for Boys and Girls: League Age 4 to 5 Year Olds
If your player is 3 years old and turns 4 in 2020, they are eligible to sign up for T-Ball.

Tee-Ball is for boys and girls who want to learn the fundamentals of throwing, hitting, fielding, sportsmanship and teamwork. A softer baseball is used during practices and games. In Tee-Ball, players learn how to hit a ball off a batting tee, running the bases and learning what the positions on the field are called. In our league's tee-ball program,players hit a ball off a batting tee to learn proper hitting mechanics for the first few games of the season. They are then introduced to coach pitch in the latter half. Players will receive "live" pitches to attempt to hit, but if unsuccessful, the Tee is brought back for reinforcement. Rules of the game may be varied to accommodate the need for teaching. The primary goals of Tee-Ball are to instruct children in the fundamentals of baseball and to allow them to experience the value of teamwork, therefore no scores or standings are kept. Rosters may be composed of between 12 and 20 players, but our league typically has rosters in the 12-15 range. Practices are held once per week, with most games occurring on weekends (Saturday). The season generally comprises of approximately 12 games and no standings or scores are kept.The playing diamond used is a 60-foot diamond. By local option, a player who is league age 6 for the current season and has played a year in Tee-Ball may be "moved up" to the A Coach-Pitch division.
