A BASEBALL
Ages 6-7

A-Ball is geared toward teaching sound baseball fundamentals, such as proper throwing, fielding and batting techniques. The A-Ball program is your child’s first opportunity to hit a pitched baseball (an adult pitcher will pitch to your child). Your child will play in all of the defensive innings and will bat in all innings of a regular game. Our program will attempt to place players on teams grouped roughly by neighborhood elementary schools. If you would like to request a “buddy” for your player to be assigned on a team with, please coordinate with the other family before registering, as we can only guarantee “Mutual Buddy Requests.”

• AGE: Your child should be 6 years old by August 31, 2024 to participate. Most children who play A-Ball are 1st graders, but some kindergarteners who are 6 years old play.
