T-ball League – The focus of this league is to teach the proper mechanics of throwing, fielding, hitting, and base running in a non-competitive environment. There will always be critics to using the tee. Some think it is too ‘babyish’. However, the tee is a training tool. It’s used in high school and even Major League Baseball to refine hitting technique. It’s important for young children to develop a proper swing. Another important aspect of T-Ball is base running.
This league is when children first learn to overrun 1st base, round 1st base, or try for a double. Good coaches are a must at this level, particularly those that are encouraging to young children and have a knack for making practices fun.
