T-Ball is the perfect starting point for boys and girls ages 4–6 who are new to baseball. Our focus is on fun, fitness, and learning the fundamentals of the game. Players get their first taste of baseball by hitting off a tee or coach soft toss and running the bases, all in a relaxed, supportive environment—no scores are kept!

Led by volunteer coaches and parent helpers, T-Ball teaches kids teamwork, cooperation, and a love for the game that could last a lifetime. It’s the first step in a journey full of learning, laughs, and home-run memories.
