The primary purpose of the program is for the children to have fun playing baseball while learning the proper fundamentals. Players will learn the basics of the game, will learn how to be coached and to be a member of a team. By hitting the ball from a "tee", players have the opportunity to develop hand-eye coordination and swing-technique without the fear of being hit by a pitched ball.
The Official Little League Rule Book will be used for the East Side LL T-ball League, unless superseded by one of the following special East Side League Rules.
No official score is kept and there are no league standings.
The T-Ball season begins in mid- March with Saturday practices and continues until about the third weekend in June. Games are usually played at Cooper Field on Concord Road in West Chester, near the March Field clubhouse.
The season will start in early April, following Opening Day Ceremonies. Once the season starts, there are no more practices and only games are played.
T-Ball players can expect to play approximately twelve games, weather permitting.
Players will be provided a T-shirt and a baseball cap. All other equipment is the responsibility of the parent including, but not limited to, shoes/plastic spikes, glove and cup if the parent/player so desires. White baseball pants are optional. The League will provide one baseball bat per team.
There are no team records, playoffs, championships nor trophies awarded by the League. If the individual team managers wish to give the children a small token at the end of the season, they are welcome to do so. There should be no individual MVP or similar type awards.
Returning players are assigned to their team from the prior year. New players are assigned open roster spots based on available space. Consideration is given to geographical locale of residence and school attended. Please direct specific requests to last year�s Manager or T-Ball director, Donna Sullivan.
