How do we play?

Last year we had 18 teams:  10 t-ball and 8 coach pitch teams.

  • Teams are coached by volunteers or parents.

  • Everyone on the team plays the whole game.

  • Every player is required to have fun!

  • Each game is one hour long.

  • Games consist of 2 innings per game.

  • All kids get to bat every inning.

  • Each player is given enough time to either hit a ball fair off the tee or hit a ball fair that is pitched by the coach.

  • Batter hits the ball, runs to first and stops.

  • Last batter on line up gets to hit in all the runners and run around all the bases!

  • No outs are recorded.

  • No score is kept.

  • Buddies are assigned to each player.  Buddies are volunteers who play alongside a player, helping them to hit the ball off the tee (if they need help), run and field the ball.
