Bally Sports Little Sluggers
Little Sluggers T-Ball (Spring only)
Bally Sports Group’s Little Sluggers is a great introduction to the game of baseball for young children ages 3-4. Using age-appropriate activities, players will be introduced to fundamentals of baseball in an atmosphere that is supportive, fun, and encouraging. Each week, the program will include an instructional portion that will introduce players to batting, base running, fielding, throwing, and catching. A modified game will also be played each week. Parent participation is welcomed, but Bally Sports staff will lead the program. The Little Sluggers T-Ball Program will provide your child with a fun and positive t-ball experience that will encourage continued participation in the sport! All players are required to have their own baseball glove. Pants, cleats and other equipment is optional for our program. All participants receive a team shirt and hat.
DIVISIONS
FALL BASEBALL
Fall Baseball is offered as a developmental league to allow players additional opportunities to develop skills and understanding of baseball. Fall Baseball is only offered for Coach Pitch, Minors, and Majors and will participate in the MSYBL.
This season is an opportunity for players moving up to another division the following Spring to try out the older age division. For example: An 8 year old played Coach Pitch in the Spring, but will move up to Minors the following Spring. This 8 year old is eligible for Fall Baseball at Minors level. If you are NOT moving up to an older division next Spring, you would sign-up for the appropriate age group. For example, A 7 year old played Coach Pitch in the Spring, and will still be in Coach Pitch the following Spring. This 7 year old would sign-up for Coach Pitch.
