Tee Ball is one of the first team sports for most children, providing a natural transition into baseball and softball. Tee Ball enables young players to acquire the basic skills and enthusiasm for these sports. No prior experience is required for children to play tee ball.
A batting tee is used throughout the first half of the season, transitioning to Coach pitch during the second half of the season. If after a designated number of pitches the batter does not put the ball in play the batter will hit off of the tee. Games and practices take place in Brentwood Park. There is no scorekeeping or playoffs. All participants receive an award at the end of the season.
Uniform shirts, hats and socks are provided under the registration fee. Players are to provide their own gray pants, and glove. Balls, bats, and batting tees are provided by the association. Batting helmets are available but we recommended each player purchase their own batting helmet.
Parent volunteers are vital to the success of a Tee Ball program. Each Tee Ball team requires one manager and 3-4 assistant coaches. No experience is needed to manage or coach a Tee Ball team. All materials, including detailed practice and game plans and equipment are provided. All volunteers must have valid child abuse, state police, and FBI clearances. The BAA can assist interested volunteers in obtaining the necessary clearances.
