Tee-Ball is a modified version of baseball for boys and girls. The game is all about being active and having FUN. The batting team hits the ball of a stationary tee and cannot get out on strikes. A modified ball is used that is softer and slightly smaller than a normal baseball to reduce the risk of injury and build confidence. This format teaches basic motor skills such as hitting, fielding, catching and throwing, and also introduces the concepts of teamwork, inclusion and fair play. In order to increase participation and skill development team sizes are usually limited to a maximum of 6 to 7 players.

AGE:

Baseball uses a Age Matrix to determine which age group applies. Players who have a baseball age of  4, 5, or 6 will play Tee-ball (the matrix makes this easy to determine).

TRAINING

Training: Typically Wednesdays 4.30-6pm (TBA closer to the start of the season)
