Each session consists of instruction in each aspect of the game, participation in fun drills that are designed to teach fundamental skills to such young children, and low-key, non-competitive games. Players will be put into age-appropriate groups. All coaching will be conducted by Jump Start Sports staff, but parents may assist. All children must wear shin guards to participate. You can purchase shin guards at Target, Walmart, Dick’s or any sporting goods store. The children should wear tennis shoes or cleats. Each child will receive a team shirt on the first day. You should also bring a water bottle for your child. Instructional tee-ball for 3-5 year olds (5 year olds who are not yet in Kindergarten may participate). Players learn the basics of catching, fielding, throwing and hitting. Then they apply what they’ve learned in fun, non-competitive games. Parents are encouraged to participate in the coaching and are provided practice plans and assistance in coaching young children. Jump Start Sports staff will lead the instruction. Jump Start Sports will be providing all of the equipment except for gloves. Each child should have a baseball glove. The size recommended for t-ball is 9 Inches (the smallest size “real” glove). Baseball pants and cleats are optional for this age. If your child has a bat that he or she wants to bring, please be sure to have your last name on the bat and we ask that you allow anyone else on the team to use it.
