Tee Ball is for 6 & 7 year old girls and boys. Tee Ball is an instructional program, not a competitive game. Score is not kept during the game and there are no standings or tournaments for this division. Every player has equal opportunity to play every position on the field. Players rotate positions during the game. Every player bats at every inning. A tee is required to be used the first two innings of each game to reinforce proper batting techniques. After these innings the Coach may choose to pitch to the players. Players cannot strike out. If, after several pitches from the Coach, the player has not hit the ball, the tee will be brought out and a Coach will work with the player to achieve a successful hit.
Coaches may schedule a handful of practices starting in mid-May to get the ball rolling and to educate the players on the fundamentals of Tee Ball. Games will serve as the educational format once the season has begun. Parents are encouraged to assist the Coaching staff in the field. Attendance is required for at least 85% of all games and practices for the benefit of the team and to ensure that all players progress together.
Every attempt will be made to assign players to teams with schoolmates, however as teams fill up players will be assigned to the next team with openings. We will make attempts to place players with at least a couple schoolmates, however our primary purpose is to provide a player with a strong education basis in baseball, not to provide a social experience with schoolmates.
