No tryouts are held, players just sign up and are assigned to a team by the TeeBall Division Director and the Player Agent. TeeBall is played on a smaller field with 50 foot base paths. An inning is defined as one time - the batting order (not 3 outs). All players bat in each inning and all players play the field each inning. Coaches are allowed on the field with the players.

No special skills are needed to help out so please volunteer if you can. GIRLS SB T-BALL Adult Softball Adult Coed Softball |
