T-Ball Overview

IMG_2251

This is where it all starts for our future baseball stars!  Players are introduced to the basic concepts of batting, throwing and catching, fielding and running around the bases (in the correct direction).

  • The tentative start date for the 2026 T-Ball season is on Saturday, April 18/26

 

  • For players that are 4, 5 & 6 years old
  • Our season starts from early May and goes to mid July (games and season length are subject to weather and field conditions) 
  • Games are played on Saturday mornings at Smythe Park and Noble Park
  • Allow 1 hour for a typical game
  • Uniforms (jerseys & caps) will be handed out at the start of the season once team rosters have been set 
  • Players will need to supply their own baseball gloves
  • Baseball helmets are available for games, but it is suggested that players use their own helmets for health reasons
  • Baseball helmets must have chin straps
  • York Baseball will supply regulation T-Ball (rubber) balls, bats, T-Ball stands and squeaking bases  
  • Don't forget to bring some drinking water
  • Teams are coed
  • Team rosters are limited to 8-9 players, in order to maximize their number of at bats, as well as to keep them active and engaged as much as possible 
  • For the 2026 season, games will be randomly scheduled at 9-10am, 10-11am and 11am-12pm.  
  • If you are unable to attend your scheduled game on a particular Saturday, please feel free to attend a different time slot that you are able to attend 
  • Parents are asked to jump in during games and assist in organizing batting orders, helping with helmets, maintaining dugout order, and assisting on the field (making sure players are running the bases in the correct direction, etc.)
