Little league age is determined by the child's birthday on August 31st of the coming year. In the fall, we age players up to prepare them for Spring. The system will only give you options appropriate for your birthdate.
Teeball
League Age: 4 and 5 Year Olds
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. 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 7-10 players, but our league typically has rosters in the 7-8 range. Practices are held once per week for one hour, with games on Saturdays.
We will not know the practice day or time until registration closes and we know how many teams we have and who is coaching.
