About This Activity
Welcome to FSA!
Learning the core fundamentals of hitting and fielding is the primary goal of T-Ball for ages 4 years old up to 6 years old. 3-year-old children are much too young for this league and are not permitted for league play.
T-Ball requires all parents to get involved. The kids at this age need basic fundamental parent coaching to learn throwing, catching, and batting - remember, just basic, fundamental, mechanics. Any of this information can be found at a book store or on line for this age group. DO NOT RELY ON YOUR COACHES TO REINFORCE THESE FUNDAMENTALS. These raw mechanics are your responsibility.
The T-Ball aka The Little Rookies League, is new and improved! We initiated the new “Little Rookies - League Rules” a year ago, which every coach is provided with at the start of the season, along with some practice drills to get you started. This league allows play by play, on field instruction and allows each child a chance to learn the very basics of the game while having fun. Everybody plays, everybody hits! The bats used should be between 25 and 26 inches long. Each player needs a glove and rubber cleats. All games are Three (3) inning games. Common sense, good sportsmanship, and just good old-fashioned fun are the goals of this league!
Practices are initiated by the coaches - not the league. So, during a team meeting, one may ask what is the best night for everyone to get to practice?
This league needs your help in coaching and assisting these young athletes. Please help out and join the long list of FSA volunteers to provide instructional opportunities so the kids can learn the basics of hitting, fielding, and base running. If you are looking to participate as a coach or assistant coach, please indicate your willingness to do so on your registration application.
