T-Ball is a Co-ed league.  Base paths are 50 feet long.  The full team bats each inning.
 
Children are eligible to play T-Ball during the Spring Season (which runs from early April to early June) if they are currently enrolled in their final year of pre-school (those children starting Kindergarten in the fall) and for those children who are currently enrolled in Kindergarten.  Pre-school and Kindergarten play in separate divisions during the Spring Season.
 
Children are eligible to play T-Ball during the Summer Season (which runs from late June to early August) if they are starting their final year of pre-school in the fall or if they are starting Kindergarten in the fall of next year.  Pre-school and Kindergarten play in the same league during the Summer Season.
 

For specific questions concerning eligibility, please contact the T-Ball President.

 

Combined tball practices/games will be held once during the week (either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday at approx. 6 p.m.) and once on the weekend (Saturday mornings).
