T-Ball Games will all be played on Sunday afternoons with games at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 pm and last about an hour. There will be a warm-up session scheduled before each game. Coaches are encouraged to schedule a practice during the week. Each child will need to have their own glove.

T-ball games cancelled due to weather will not be rescheduled by the league. Coaches may reschedule their games at their own discretion.

Registration Fee is $50 for Legacy Park residents, $60 for non-residents; all payments will be processed using PayPal. Please note special team requests at time of registration. Fee includes a team t-shirt, ball cap, end-of-season party and trophy. A limited number of late registrations may be accepted until we run out of extra jerseys. Late registrants will pay an additional $10.

3-4 coaches are needed per team. If you've ever watched a baseball game, then you will be a perfect coach! Please volunteer to save us from having to recruit coaches.

WHAT IS T-BALL

The game is the entry sport to baseball and softball for young players, generally four to six years old. Members of two teams take turns hitting a ball off a batting tee set on home plate. Batters try to get on base and advance to home; fielders try to prevent that from happening. The elimination of pitching allows children to learn proper mechanics and participate without the fear of being hit by a pitched ball. Tee ball develops the primary baseball skills of hitting, running, fielding and throwing. The players gain an understanding of the fundamental rules, which allows minimally competitive league play at all age levels.

RULES OF PLAY

• 50 feet between the bases.
• Every player bats and plays in the field.
• The ball is hit off a batting tee; there is no pitching.
• There are no walks or strikeouts.
• The ball must travel 10 feet or it is a foul.
• No stealing. Player stays on the base until the ball is hit.
• An inning is over when all the players have batted once or three outs are recorded.
• Standard game is four innings or one hour, whichever occurs first.
• Score is not kept. Emphasis is on skill-building, learning experience, where the score is not the focus of the game.
• Safety helmets must be worn.
