Tee Ball (4-6 year olds)
Often, a family’s first introduction to Little League® is in the Tee Ball
program. Tee Ball is the entry level division for players, ages 4-6 at
FLAG Little League. The experience is grounded in fun, fitness, and
fundamentals while also being a key to growing a child’s love for the
game.

The Little League Tee Ball program provides volunteer coaches with
everything they need to create an environment where players will
learn the skills of the game, while having fun and staying active.
Parents and legal guardians of Tee Ball players are crucial to the
extension of the program, and their satisfaction is equally important to
its success. The outreach and inclusion of this division sets the
foundation for continued participation in the local Little League
program.

The Tee Ball Division is co-ed, but may be structured as a baseball or
softball program depending on numbers. FLAG LL has in the past and
plans to have both a baseball Tee Ball and softball Tee Ball program.
This league typically starts after Mother’s Day with a few practices
prior to the start of the season. Games typically start at 6pm at the
Fairview Legion Field 4(unless otherwise noted) and are scheduled
most nights of the week with games scheduled on Saturday mornings
at times as well. The season for this league will end by mid-July. 1-2
games are using scheduled each week.

Tee Ball players use bats and balls (baseballs and softballs)
designated specifically for use in this division…the type of ball used is

referenced as a Star 5 which is softer/safer for children being
introduced to baseball and softball. The roster size for a Tee Ball team
averages 7-10 players.

Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in this entry level
of Little League. After completing a Little League volunteer application
and passing a required national background check, parents may
become involved in practices, and be eligible as coaches, managers,
umpires, local league board members and other volunteer positions
within the league. No prior coaching experience is needed to become
a coach. FLAG LL is here to help coaches with practice plans and
help guide as needed. Teams are put together after the registration is
closed and a parent/legal guardian is contacted in mid-April.
