What a Saturday looks like

  • About one hour on Saturday morning — practice and game together
  • No evaluation or tryout; a team parent meeting before the season
  • Coaches teach throwing, catching, hitting off a tee and running the bases
  • Everyone bats, everyone plays the field, and nobody sits out

Age ranges are guidance. Divisions are set by age on a season cutoff date, which has not been published for Spring 2027 yet (Fall 2026 used April 30, 2027).

Questions

Free tee ball FAQ

Spring 2027: Registration Coming Soon

Spring 2027 registration has not opened yet. Program details live on Crossbar. The Fall 2026 season is currently underway.

Is tee ball really free for 4-year-olds?
Under the Fall 2026 structure, the Rookie league had no separate league fee. A $25 concession-stand deposit is collected at checkout and returned after a parent works a one-hour concession shift.
Why is there a $25 charge if Rookie is free?
That $25 is a refundable deposit, not a league fee. It makes sure every family helps staff the concession stand for one hour, and you get it back at the end of your shift.
Does my 4-year-old get a uniform?
Yes. Rookie players receive a team cap and jersey, just like every other division.
Do 4-year-olds need to try out?
No. There is no evaluation for Rookie. There is a team parent meeting before the season begins.
When does Rookie play?
Rookie plays only on Saturdays. Practice and game together last about one hour on a Saturday morning.
What does my child need to bring?
A glove, cleats and baseball pants (your coach picks the pants color). Water and sunscreen are always a good idea.
My child turns 4 soon. Are they eligible?
Eligibility is based on age on the season cutoff date. For Fall 2026, that was age 4 as of April 30, 2027. Check the current season’s cutoff on Crossbar.
