T-Ball

The T-Ball program is an in-house baseball program for children who are 5 - 6 years-old (players must be no older than 6 before May 1). It is designed to teach the fundamentals of hitting, fielding and throwing. All batters will hit the ball from a batting tee which is adjusted to allow for a level swing. All players bat in order each inning as well as play a defensive position in each of four innings. Adult coaches are stationed on the field to provide instruction. The primary goal of T-Ball is to begin to teach young players the fundamentals of baseball in a supportive team setting. The season will start the second week of April and will end in late June.

Grasshopper

The Grasshopper League is an in-house coach pitch league for 7- and 8-year-olds (players must be 7 before May 1 and no older than 8 before May 1). It is designed to teach the fundamentals of hitting, fielding, throwing and pitching. All players bat in order each inning as well as play a defensive position in each of six innings. There is a 10 batter limit per inning. After the 3rd out or 10th batter, the half inning is over. The batting order will resume in order the next half inning. Adult coaches are permitted on the field to provide instruction. Balls and strikes should be called by a coach standing behind the pitcher or behind the catcher. The primary goal of the Grasshopper League is to build upon the introductory skills taught in T-Ball and to continue to develop the players' fundamentals of baseball in a supportive team setting.
