T-Ball

T-Ball
​
$185  (Late Fee = $275)
  • ​Ages 3-6*
  • Practices 1-2 time per week decided by team parents
  • Games Saturday late afternoons @ Shadow Creek Sports Complex
  • Parents work together to Coach all players
  • 1 parent needed to be Team Coordinator
*as of September 1, 2022

Goals of our 5-6yo T-Ball division:
  • TBall is more that just hitting off the tee. 
  • ​Players should learn rules of the game.
  • Offensive - multiple base running; listening to the coach; knowing when to run & when  not to run; learning how to hit the ball harder and farther with the right body mechanics.
  • Defensive - improved mechanics of: fielding the ball on the ground; catching the ball in the air; throwing accurately to a base; catching a thrown ball from another player; when to throw the ball, when to hold the ball; rules around getting the lead runner out.
  • The player should be proficient with the above and had enough practice opportunities in games to display these attributes before moving up to Coach Pitch.
​
Game Format / Rules:
  • 7-9 players per team
  • Games are 50 minutes, whichever comes first
  • Ball is hit off a tee, no pitching
  • Ball must travel 6 feet or it is a foul
  • No walks or strikeouts
  • No fielder may cross the playing line (pitchers mound rubber) until the ball is hit
  • At least 2 Parents need to be base coaches
  • Ages 5-6
    • Little League - like Rules and Positions;  3 outs or 5-run maximum score = end of half inning
    • ​Multiple-base running (at risk)
      • When a batter hits the ball and it goes far, base runners can run as many bases as reasonably possible* (at the risk of getting out) just like real baseball; they do NOT have to stop at one base (like they do in our 3/4yo division)
      • *Given many of our players are new to the game, please be reasonable when base running and don't take unfair advantage just to score; remember there's a 5-run max rule per inning and we want kids to be able to bat multiple times during a game, but we also want to reward kids who do hit it far to be able to run multiple bases
    • Runner(s) may advance at risk 1 base on an overthrow
      • ​In the case of an overthrow, players can advance only 1 base.  (Example. Short stop over throws to First: Batter can advance to 2nd base, 2nd base runner to 3rd, and 3rd base runner to home.)​  Additional overthrows that occur during that live ball can result in players continuing to advance another 1  base (each overthrow = 1-base advancement at risk).
      • Coaches should teach their fielders not to throw the ball around multiple times, risking overthrows.  Teach fielders to attempt an out at a base, but then get the ball back to the pitcher or adult coach at the T.
    • Infield covers Home
  • Ages 3-4
    • Every player bats and fields
    • Unlimited outs per half inning
    • No scorekeeping
    • Bat around – each player bats every half inning; 1 base per hit
    • Runners can only advance 1 base, no stealing, no advancement on overthrow
    • Last batter is “grand slam” hitter and can advance all the way around to home plate
    • Half inning is over when all players have batted once

Practice Guideline:
  • Collect info on other sports involved, and set practice around
  • 1 practice per week, 90 minutes max
