T-Ball
(Ages 5-6):
-
T-Ball is an instructional game for 5- and 6-year-old
players. Bases are approximately 45 feet apart with the Pitcher's Plate
being set at 27 feet from Home.
T-Ball is designed to provide
maximum playing time and enjoyment for all players, not to stress winning
strategy or competitiveness. Players will be taught the basics and
fundamentals of baseball in a fun environment, while using a tee. There
will be a set number of coach-pitched balls prior to the tee being used.
Players will learn how to run, throw, hit, catch, and field.
-
Teams sizes vary from 10-14 players. Practice days will
vary by team, but most will meet one to two times a week pre-season, then
some will only meet once a week to practice, pending game schedule. Each
team will usually have games one to two times per week. No score is kept
in the games and no winner is determined.
-
TJB provides participation trophies for all T-Ball
players at the end of the season. No Allstar or End of Season Tournament
is offered.
J-Ball
(Ages 7-8):
-
The J-Ball League is for 7- and 8-year-old players.
The bases are 60 feet apart with a pitching rubber set at 40 feet from
home plate. This league is coach pitch, and scores are kept.
-
J-Ball is a big learning step for kids to learn the
fundamentals of baseball and really understand them. This league will
help players by getting them ready for the next level of baseball.
Although winning is fun, this league is about teaching the kids all
season long. It is the coach's responsibility to accomplish this
throughout the season! Hitting, throwing, fielding, and good
sportsmanship should be the main goal for coaches, parents, and kids. We
all want the kids to have fun, learn a lot and have a great experience
with baseball through TJB!
-
The J-Ball season will conclude with an All-Star
tournament and an End of Season Championship Tournament.
