Over the course of the program, children will have the opportunity to learn and practice essential skills such as throwing, hitting, and catching, which are crucial for their development in the sport. Additionally, participating in T-ball helps young players improve their hand-eye coordination and overall motor skills. The program is designed to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that children not only learn the basics of the game but also develop a love for sports and teamwork. Coaches typically emphasize positive reinforcement and encouragement, creating a nurturing atmosphere where children can build confidence and enjoy physical activity.Dates: Thursday's 5/1-6/5Time: 5:00pm-6:00pm           Saturday game schedule TBD  Location: Standish Memorial Park (Softball Fields)Ages: 4-6 years oldCost: $60 Please bring your child with: Water Sneakers/Cleats (optional)  Glove  Helmet  Limited bats & helmets will be on site available to use.Additional Information: This is a co-ed league Registration for the 2025 season closes Wednesday, April 30th *We are unable to accommodate special requests for team placement.
