Preschool and Kindergarten 

For players turning 4 years old by 9/1, T-Ball teaches the fundamentals of hitting, throwing, fielding, and running the bases. This age group will focus on skill development in a clinic format with some non-competitive scrimmages within the practice sessions. T-Ball will play on Saturday and Sunday mornings and all players receive a team shirt and hat. Baseball helmet and fielding glove required. 

Grades 1-2

AA players will be introduced to the pitching and catching positions, and batters will face live pitching in games. To bridge the gap between T-Ball and kid-pitch baseball, teams in the division will:

• Start the season with coach or machine pitch, gradually introducing kid-pitch.
• Use Sandlot-style rules to increase action in the field: leading to more hits,baserunners, and defensive plays.
• Focus on skill development with structured practices.

Players must attend a preseason evaluation session, which is used to create balanced teams. Games will be played on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays. All players will receive a team shirt and hat. Baseball helmet and fielding glove required. Bat and cleats recommended.
