The Shetland/Tee Ball program is set up for beginning players ages four through six. In this division, players will practice during the first segment before playing a game. They will bat through the order in each inning and utilize a Tee for the majority of the season. The base path is set at 60 feet. As the season draws to a close, the players graduate to having a coach pitch to them and will receive 4 pitched balls before a Tee is brought out. The primary goals are to introduce players to the game of baseball, give them a solid start in learning the fundamentals, what it means to be part of a team and to have fun while doing it.Games are played at Derby Grange on Saturday mornings starting in early May (we do our best not to overlap with Dubuque Developmental Soccer) and will conclude by July 4th.
