What Happens After Registration?
Before the season begins, please secure a teeball glove for your child. Around mid-April, you will get an introductory phone call from your child’s coach. Between now and then — and even throughout the season — please do not hesitate to contact Brian Daeschner, teeball coordinator, with any questions. Brian's contact information is listed at right.
What Will My Child Need to Play?
At the start of the season, your child will receive a uniform, which should be worn to each session. Balls and bats will be provided by the league. However, your child is welcome to bring an aluminum teeball bat of his/her own. Players should bring their glove, uniform, and a desire to play. Spikes/cleats are not required but are growing in popularity. Players may wear tennis shoes you don’t mind getting dirty. Water bottles also are recommended. Please plainly mark your child’s possessions with permanent marker, as teeballers often leave their things behind.
When Does Teeball Meet?
Teeball meets from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday evenings and from 9:30 to 11 a.m. on Saturday mornings. Those days never change, even in the case of rainouts. We will meet for eight weeks. In the event of excessive rainouts, we likely will extend the season by a week. At the end of the season (late June), your child will receive a medallion during a season-ending picnic.
How Does the Season Work?
In practice sessions, players work through a series of skills stations with their teams. Coaches work with them on batting from a tee, throwing, catching, and baserunning. On game days, teams play three-inning mini games. Each player bats and plays the field every inning.
How Can I Help?
The best way to help is to get out there and get dirty with your child. Essentially, every single teeball parent is an assistant coach and encouraged to take an active part in the on-field experience. Any parent interested in helping — on the field or off — should not hesitate to let their coach know. They would love to have your help.
Do I Have to Work the Concession Stand?
At registration, you paid a $15 concession stand fee. This fee will be refunded when a member of your child’s family completes a shift in the concession stand. A good portion of the league operating budget is dependent on the concession stand. A friend or family can work in your place, just so that your child is represented. You will be contacted about concession stand scheduling.
