T-Ball Developmental League (Ages 4 – 5 years)
Date: week of April 29 (6 weeks)
Location / Days: TBD
The RYA T-Ball Developmental League (Ages 4 – 5 years) has been developed to teach the fundamentals of the game of baseball and to get the players to start learning the basics such as fielding, throwing, hitting and base running. A safety ball is used in this league in order to allow our young athlete’s to learn the game of baseball in a safe environment.
Practice sessions begin week of April 29 with two scheduled practices each week. Our practices will focus on utilizing small group stations to work on the fundamentals of batting (stance & swing basics), throwing (power T, rotation to release of ball), ground ball station (basic fielding position, 2 hands to cradle), base running (when to run through 1B, when to round), catching (starting with the coach throwing to the players and building to players catching with each other), and mental/rules (1 core principal each practice- order of the bases, force out vs. tag, flyball outs, etc.) Our goal is to keep the stations focused, short, and to keep our players moving.
Transition into two practice/games scheduled each week. During this portion of the season we will start a split practice/game format with a 30-45 minute practice session followed by a 30 minute game session (1 – 2 inning mini game). During the games the fielders will try to get outs but the runners will always stay on base. Base running is typically from base to base in this league. The hitters will hit off the Tee initially and will move to coach pitching as individual player hitting progresses.
For parents interested in volunteering their services, we will be happy to provide tools that help make it fun and engaging for the players. There will be a coach’s clinic/meeting prior to the season as well as ongoing support from our RYA staff. Coaching is a fun and rewarding experience!
Our T-Ball Program utilizes a developmental approach to teaching the fundamentals of baseball that will keep your young athlete engaged, moving, and having fun while learning a game they will enjoy for years to come.
