T-Ball
Ages 4 to 6, hitting off a tee
T-Ball is where most families start. Players are ages 4 to 6. They hit the ball off a tee, so there is no pitcher to beat. The goal is fun, fitness and the basics: hitting, throwing, catching and running the bases.
Little League rules have a new player play one season of Tee Ball before being considered for a higher division.
League age is set by Little League International. Check a player with the age calculator.
What a T-Ball season looks like
Practices start around mid-March. Teams may practice twice a week before games begin. The first games are the first week of April, and the season ends in mid-June.
Games are Monday to Thursday, with Fridays held for make-ups. Schedules come out by the end of March. Your coach sets practice times with the parents, based on when the park is free. See where we play for field locations.
T-Ball runs on parent volunteers
Coaches are parents who volunteered. Any parent can help. After a Little League volunteer application and a background check, you can coach, help at practice, umpire or join the board. Coaches can find drills and practice ideas on the league’s Sports Connect site: T-Ball resources.
