T-Ball

T-ball is a fun and introductory version of baseball designed for children ages 4 to 6, focusing on developing basic motor skills and an understanding of teamwork. In T-ball, young players take turns hitting a stationary ball off a tee, which helps them build coordination, balance, and hand-eye coordination. The game introduces simple concepts of baseball, such as running bases, fielding, and taking turns, while keeping the atmosphere light-hearted and supportive. T-ball is a fantastic way for kids to gain confidence, socialize with peers, and enjoy physical activity in a safe and encouraging environment.

Cal Ripkin (Local League)
Rookie

Designed primarily for ballplayers ages 7-8, this division makes use of coaches to pitch and to allow for more hittable balls at the plate and more action in the field. Fear of actually being hit by a pitched ball is diminished. It makes the game safer and improves the playing confidence and ability of all participants.
