Our Tee Ball program is designed to introduce our youngest ball players (4-6 year olds) to the game of baseball/softball, and runs on a shorter schedule than our older divisions. Age is determined by how old the child is on August 31st of the current season (i.e. they player may be 3 years old during the season if they will turn 4 on or before August 31 of that year).

Teams are typically formed in mid-April, and parents will be notified of which team their child(ren) are on via email. Practices typically begin in early May, and games from mid-May through the end of June. 

Parents can expect 1 to 2 one-hour games per week, with an additional one-hour practice scheduled by the coach. 

We have many players who participate in other activities as well, including soccer and dance!
