๐ Our Philosophy: Growing Through Play
At [League Name], the Tee Ball division is about more than just home runsโitโs about building a foundation for a lifetime of healthy activity and sportsmanship. We focus on three core pillars to ensure every child has a "major league" experience.
โพ 1. Fundamentals First (The "How-To")
Before they can hit a grand slam, they need to know which way to run! We prioritize teaching the basic mechanics of baseball in a way that feels like play.
Skill Building: Learning how to hold a bat, throw a ball, and catch with a glove.
Game Logic: Understanding what "bases" are and where to go when the ball is hit.
Coordination: Improving gross motor skills through running, swinging, and throwing.
๐ค 2. Small Teams, Big Engagement
We donโt believe in kids standing around in the outfield picking daisies. To keep every player active and focused, we keep our rosters small (typically 6 to 8 players per team).
Constant Action: Smaller teams mean more turns at bat and more chances to field the ball.
Personalized Coaching: Fewer kids per team allows our volunteer coaches to give each player the one-on-one attention they deserve.
Bonding: Itโs easier for 5-year-olds to make friends when they are part of a small, tight-knit group.
๐ 3. Exercise & Healthy Habits
Tee Ball is often a childโs first "organized" exercise. We make sure they stay moving from the moment they arrive at the field.
Active Practices: Our drills are designed to keep heart rates up and energy high.
Teamwork: Learning to cheer for teammates and work together toward a common goal.
Confidence: There is no better feeling for a child than the "I did it!" moment when they finally hit the ball off the tee.
