T-Ball is for children who are league age 5 and 6 and provides an introduction to organized team play. Children are instructed on the fundamentals: hitting, throwing, catching, running and fielding – with a lot coaching and parent support in a fun game environment. Players start the season by batting off a stationary tee, but may have the opportunity to be pitched to by the coach before the end of the season.
T-Ball games consist of 3 or 4 innings with each player getting a turn at bat. Game length will be no more than 90 minutes. During a game, there are SAFE’s and OUT’s on bases, but no scores are kept. Coaches are allowed on the field to assist the players with hitting and fielding. Tee Ball is suitable for both aspiring baseball and softball players. If appropriate, 6-year-old players who demonstrate the required level of skill and maturity may be assessed for Junior Rookies. It is also possible for 7-year-old players to participate in T-Ball when appropriate.

Parent Involvement
Please plan to help out with your child’s team as a coach, manager and/or volunteer. A clinic for coaches, managers, and on-field volunteers will be offered prior to and during the beginning of the season.
All parents are expected to volunteer unless they have selected the opt-out fee at registration.
Friend Requests
We are pleased to consider friend requests on teams; however, this is limited to one friend request per player – and both registrants must input the same request (each other) and at the same level of programming. Priority is given to balancing our teams.
Our registration form provides a field for you to make your request.
All play happens within Beacon Hill, so rest assured that friends will have the opportunity to play and see each other with regularity!
