Tee Ball - League
Tee Ball is a non-competitive, instructional league designed to provide first time players the opportunity to learn, develop and practice the fundamental baseball skills. Players hit off of a tee and everyone bats and plays the field. The focus is on learning basic playing skills and baseball terminology. The parents have the discretion to choose whether their 6 year old plays Tee Ball or Single-A, but it is recommended that 5 year olds who have not played Tee Ball begin in this division before moving up to Single-A.
The Minor League plays under Little League rules with some local adapted rules to balance fairness and competitiveness. Strikeouts are introduced and scores are kept. Any player who is league age 7 or has played 1 year in the Single-A baseball program is eligible to participate. Players age 6 or 7 that are new to baseball can consider the Single-A baseball league instead.

What is a volunteer fee? What do I need to do for the volunteer fee to be refunded to me?

Fulfilling your commitment will require a minimum of set hours depending on park/season needs. Refer to
