Youth T-Ball Baseball & Softball League

LEAGUE FORMAT:

Grade levels refer to the grade in which the child is CURRENTLY enrolled at the time of registration.

T-Ball – For kids CURRENTLY in 4K and Kindergarten (must be 5 years old by September 1, 2023)
Coach Pitch / Modified – For children currently in the 1st and 2nd Grades.
Kid Pitch – For children currently enrolled in the 3rd through 6th Grades.
Teen Core – For teens currently enrolled in 7th and 8th Grade.  This league is for teens who want to continue to play baseball or softball in a pressure free, recreational setting with manageable time commitments. Modified pitching / hitting rules to encourage more action & less idle time. For more about our Teen Core Initiative, please CLICK HERE!

TEAM STRUCTURE:

• T-Ball teams are Co-ed (boys and girls together). 
• 1st through 6th Grade leagues are separated by gender and grade.
• Teen Core leagues are Co-Ed.
• Lower grade levels (K-2) are separated when possible (dependent on participation rates), and grouped together when necessary.
• Older grade levels, (3rd/4th, 5th/6th, 7th/8th) are usually combined to provide teams with experience / pitching needed for effective game play / game flow.
• Play with your friends! Children will be placed onto teams by school (or combinations of nearby schools).  Specific friend and coach requests will be honored whenever possible!

We provide comprehensive training and lesson materials which enable all of our volunteers to be successful, so if you have the skill and confidence to lead and encourage kids, then you already have what it takes to be a great coach!   Indicate your interest in coaching under the “Coach Sign Up” section during registration.
