Tee Ball - Age 4-5 - Spring 2025 (Coed)

2025 Tee Ball Program

TEE BALL

AGES: For boys and girls league ages 4-5

DESCRIPTION: Tee Ball is for boys and girls who want to learn the fundamentals of hitting, throwing and catching. In Tee Ball, players hit a ball off a batting tee and we work in some coach pitch as the season progresses. Rules of the game may be varied to accommodate the need for teaching (score is not kept, all players bat, and positions are rotated). The primary goals of Tee Ball are to instruct children in the fundamentals of baseball, allow them to experience the value of teamwork, and most of all, have fun! All players receive a trophy during Closing Ceremonies.
