T-Ball (4-6) – Coming Soon

Each child provided with team jersey, hat and socks by program.
You must supply glove, cleats, and softball pants (gray recommended).
Helmets and bats are optional but recommended: you may use team provided bat and/or helmet if you do not purchase your own.

This age group will be clinic based and primarily focused on skill development. The first 3-4 days will be practices. The remaining will still start as a short practice but finish with a scrimmage/game versus the team sharing the field.
Guidelines for scrimmages/games
- Players use tees for the first 3 games, then coaches can start coach pitch for the players that are ready, still recommend tees for the majority of the players.
- If transitioning to coach pitch, players receive 6 pitches and if no contact/hit, the tee is brought out for them to get on base.
- There should ONLY be six (6) fielders at one time with the rest of the defending team, which should be three (3) players doing a fielding drill with a coach on the side.
- Outs are made but not recorded. Entire lineup bats each inning.
- Runners advance one base at a time.
- Fielding team throws to first base on every ball put into play.
- 2-3 total innings.
