Objectives & Expected Level Of Play By Baseball Division
5U Tee Ball (ages 3 - 5)

- Soft, Reduced Injury Factor (RIF) baseballs are used for safety.

- Carpool requests and requests to play with friends will be honored, if requested,
- Games are 2 innings or 1 hour, whichever comes first.
6U Coach Pitch (Ages 5 - 6)
This is the beginning stages where children learn the fundamentals of baseball, teamwork and competition play. Players at the end of the season in 6U should have learned how to run the bases properly, attempt to field ground balls and more importantly know where to throw them and understand the concept of out versus safe, all in an environment of fun and sportsmanship stressed at both practices and games.
