2019 Villa Hills Longhorns Instructional Baseball League: Sign-Up Information
For the 2019 baseball season, the Villa Hills Longhorns Athletic Association will again be offering youth “instructional” baseball. Because of the success in previous years, we will again be offering both a “tee ball” level as well as a “coach pitch.”
The Longhorns do not specifically mandate certain age ranges to the Tee Ball & Coach Pitch levels, as we think this is a decision parents should make based on their own child’s skill level. The general “rule of thumb” is that any first-time player should start with Tee Ball, and progress to Coach Pitch after 1-2 years or when their skill level dictates
These leagues are created & supported to make baseball a fun, learning experience for all kids. All practices & games are local (Villa Madonna & Franze Fields in Villa Hills), and all games are played on Saturday mornings/early afternoons.
Tee-Ball League (ages 4-5)
The Villa Hills Longhorns will again offer a local league for our youngest kids, meant to introduce them to baseball. This is an “entry level” league for those playing baseball for the first time – with the purpose of using tees to allow for more “in game action” of the ball being put in play, as well as eliminating the fear-factor of playing with a hard ball. Practices will be 1x per week, and all games will be played on Saturdays at Franzen Fields in Villa Hills.
Tee-Ball Details:
· Organized teams made up of local Villa Hills & Crescent Springs kids (other surrounding cities are welcome assuming we can accommodate the # of kids)
· Targeted to ages 4-5,
· Season will run from ~April 1st thru June 24th
· Games are ~3 innings long, with a tee being used to allow for a safer, more exciting experience
· Coaches: Over the past 3-4 years, we have been consistently low on coaches. Please consider signing up to help…no baseball experience is required – and ultimately we want coaches that will make the experience fun for the players. Practice plans/tips will be offered to those coaches looking for help
