Teeball
Tee-ball is the introductory level of baseball which focuses on learning basic fundamentals and learning the rules. Children are taught the basic skills of throwing, catching, fielding, batting, and running the bases as we de-emphasizing competitiveness at this level. Players hit off a stationary tee and may move to coach pitching during the season as appropriate.
There is a great deal of hands-on instruction during the events. During game play, coaches remain on the field to give instruction.
