Key characteristics of the coach pitch division
Player age: For players league age 5 to 8, after completing at least 1 year of tee ball.
Pitching: A coach or manager pitches the ball to their team's batters. This allows for more consistent hits and focuses on developing the batter's swing and the fielders' response to the ball.
Hitting: Batters may receive a set number of pitches (e.g., five) before a tee is used to complete their at-bat if they haven't hit the ball into play.
Focus: The main goal is skill development, team building, and ensuring a positive experience for every player.
Game structure: Games are often shorter, with modified rules to ensure participation and fun.
