What: T-Ball/Introduction to Coach pitch league
Ages: Players who are 4 through 5 years old as of April 30, 2021
MBA Recommendation: All 4 and 5 year olds should play T-ball regardless of skill, attention level or prior baseball experience.
Rules: A Reduced Injury Factor (RIF) baseball will be used. It is the same size as a regulation baseball, but it is softer. All players will hit from a batting tee. We use 50 foot bases.
Team Announcements: You will receive notification of your child’s team placement on or before March 31, 2021.
Practices: Practices will begin on or after April 5, 2021. Teams will be scheduled to practice once or twice each week from April 1 through Baseball Opening Day.
Baseball Opening Day likely will be Saturday, April 24, 2021. All teams will play at least one game and pictures will be taken.
Season Length (games): Baseball Opening Day through June 18, 2020.
Typical Game Schedule: We will make every effort to make sure that every team plays a minimum of 10 games (weather permitting).
Games Per Week: During the first part of the season, teams will have one practice and one game each week. (NOTE, If there are an odd number of teams, then each week one team may be asked play two games.) Toward the end of the season, most teams likely will have 2 games during week and may have a reduced number of practices.
Weekly Practice and Game Schedule: Practices will be scheduled as early as 5:30pm on Monday through Friday, and as early as 9am on Saturdays. No practices/games will be scheduled on Sundays.
Practice and Game Locations: Adams Township Park
Team Assignments: Players will be placed on teams without a formal player evaluation. The Commissioner will attempt to balance teams based on the age of the players and the known skill level of the players.
Player Requests: If two players want to play with each other, both must submit the same request. Although we cannot guarantee any placement request, we will try to honor placement requests between 2 players so long as both request to play together and we can still maintain a proportional balance of ages and abilities on teams. No requests to play for a certain coach are permitted.
Equipment Provided/Equipment Needed: The league provides hats, jerseys, masks/gaiters and practice/game balls. Players should purchase their own helmet for sanitary and safety reasons. Most players prefer to purchase their own bat although the league provides a limited number of team bats. Players will also need to purchase gray baseball pants and cleats and may want to purchase a bat bag.
