Description
Tee-ball is the introductory level of baseball which focuses on learning basic fundamentals. Children are taught the basic skills of throwing, catching, fielding, batting, and running the bases. Players hit off a stationary tee and may move to coach pitching during the season as appropriate.
There is a great deal of hands-on instruction during the game. During game play, coaches remain on the field to give instruction.

Parent Expectations
National Little League is 100% volunteer operated and our success depends entirely on the involvement of volunteers. If you are a parent of a player in our park, we ask that you contribute some volunteer time and energy. There’s lots of different things to do, so we are sure you will find some way to make a meaningful contribution that you are comfortable with.
Parents are expected to help with the following:
- Volunteering in the concession
- Helping the coach: Dugout manager or base coach during games; first baseman, catcher etc. during practices
The team manager will ask for volunteers and set up a parent volunteer schedule.
