Tee Ball - Little League Baseball
(League Age 4/5/6/7 ) - Tee Ball is required for all League Age 4-year-old players as well as first year League Age 5-year-old players. Tee Ball is open to first-year League Age 6 and 7 -year-olds, but the EWG league recommends they play Single A if they can hit a ball pitched by a coach. T-Ball is an introductory division specifically designed to provide a foundation and introduction to baseball that is grounded in fun, fitness, and fundamentals. All players begin the season by hitting off of a Tee. As the season progresses, managers, at their discretion, may introduce Coach Pitch to those ready to advance. Soft, Reduced Injury Factor (RIF) balls are used for safety. No scores are kept, every offensive player bats each inning regardless of outs, and no player sits on defense. Players are taught the basic fundamentals of baseball including throwing, catching, batting, defensive ready position and base running. Games are played in small groups of typically 7 to 9 players and everyone rotates positions and bats each inning
