🌟 Our Philosophy: Growing Through Play
At [League Name], the Tee Ball division is about more than just home runs—it’s 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.
⚾ 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.
🤝 2. Small Teams, Big Engagement
We don’t 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: It’s easier for 5-year-olds to make friends when they are part of a small, tight-knit group.
🏃 3. Exercise & Healthy Habits
Tee Ball is often a child’s 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.
