The purpose of this Division is to introduce 7 year olds to baseball. The rules established for T-Ball are based on Modified Cal Ripken League Babe Ruth Baseball Tee Ball rules. We use the same basic team make-ups as Jr. Tee Ball. The first half of the season is a continuation of Jr. Tee Ball, the batter hits the ball from a batting tee. In the second half the Manager or Coach will throw four pitches to the batter, and if the batter is unsuccessful in hitting the ball, they will then hit off the batting tee. The teams’ coaches are on the field to instruct the players. All the players play in the field and alternate fielding positions. We use a special vinyl covered sponge rubber baseball. The players may wear shorts, as sliding on the bases is discouraged. Each team plays one game per week, and has at least one practice per week, during the 10 week season. Games will be the shorter of 1 hour or 3 innings. The games are played on Saturday afternoons starting at 1:00 PM, with the field to be determined.
