The T-Ball Division is recommended for 4-6 YEAR olds to teach the fundamentals of hitting and fielding.    The primary goal is to begin to instruct young players in the fundamentals of baseball in a supportive team environment.

Beginner T-Ball

• If this if their first season in Tball, this is the division for them, regardless of Tball age.
• Good option for a 2ND season for Fall ball and for the younger (4 or 5 year old) kids who still struggle to catch a ball thrown to them.
• Hitting is done from a tee.
• Focus is on developing basic mechanics tee ball skills of throwing, fielding, and hitting.
• Low competition environment – All kids make it on base and advance around the bases.

Intermediate T-ball (Spring only)

• Kids must have at least one previous season of Tball in the beginner league.
• Kids should be able to throw a Tball and field balls hit to them.
• Hitting is done from a tee.
• Focus is on improving basic mechanics tee ball skills of throwing, fielding, and hitting, with an emphasis on developing the ability to catch.
• Slight elevated competition environment
  • Kids who are out do return to the dugout
  • All kids hit every inning
  • Hits to OF grass are allowed to go 2 bases
  • Hitter to 2B
  • Runners can move 2 bases

"Scoring"

• Any team “scoring” is done by how many outs were gathered defensively and teams are only to compete against themselves and their best game to date

Advanced Coach Pitch T-Ball

• This is our most advanced level of T-Ball before kids move up to baseball or softball.
• Kids should have at least two previous seasons of T-ball.
• Kids should be able to consistently hit off a tee, throw a T-ball, and catch a significant percentage of balls thrown to them.
• At this level, there is a shift to primarily coach pitch from back at (or near) the pitching rubber, with a tee as a backup after 4 pitches.
• Focus is on understanding more of the rules of baseball, while honing throwing, catching, fielding and hitting skills.
• Increased competitive environment  (e.g. returning to dugout on outs, allowing extra bases for hits to the outfield).

"Scoring"

• Any team “scoring” is done by how many outs were gathered defensively and teams are only to compete against themselves and their best game to date
