⚾️Indoor Tot Tee-Ball has been designed to introduce children to the game of Tee-ball in a non-competitive environment through repetition and teamwork in a fun, safe and nurturing environment. We cover the basics of the game ….

               

    

About the Tee-Ball Program:

      ⚾️  Base running: with color-coded cones at each base to help identify    which base the children are on or running too.

• ⚾️  Age-appropriate equipment: wiffle balls, foam bats and safety helmets.
• ⚾️  Throwing / Catching
• ⚾️  Infield Positions  

Everyone bats  and runs the bases each game. Games will consist of at least 2 innings.

You do NOT need to be a resident of Avon Lake to participate. 

Additional intellectual and social skills/tools to be developed:

• Listening
• Following Directions
• Forming Lines
• Taking Turns
• Confidence and Self Esteem Building
  

Each child should come with: tennis shoes, soft athletic shorts, t-shirt, and water bottle. A baseball glove is not required for this class.

In unexpected instances where there are less than 10 tots enrolled in a time slot, classes may be combined. Parents will be contacted and notified at the close of Open Enrollment if this issue arises.

Classes are designed for boys & girls ages 3-5

Classes run for 55 minutes each week. 

Equipment: For this age group, safety and learning comes first! For Tot Tee-Ball no gloves are needed. Color coded bases, Batting T, Team Shirt, whiffle balls and foam bats are provided
    
Coaches Responsibilities:

 Those parents who can volunteer and help coach, Thank You.  Coaches will work  along side my staff.   During Tee-Ball  Stations you will assist in moving your team from station to station and assist your team at each drill station. 

My staff and I always coach on the field when we practice/play. So during this time things maybe slowed down a bit, but we want to start coaching your child on the spot. One field maybe done before the other is completed. If it’s possible please stay until everyone is finished

**Homework assigned – The children will receive a hand stamp, than be asked to go to their parents, grandparents etc. after “Huddle Time” and give them a HUG, KISS and say THANK YOU for bringing them.  If they forget, please send them back to see a coach.

Social Media:

I am a big social media person, so if you are on Instagram or Facebook please friend me. If you’re on Facebook, go to Preschool Sports and like the page. Why you ask, this will be the just one way of finding out about upcoming programs or class cancelations due to unforeseen weather.  

As all of you are taking such great pictures and videos with your cameras/phones, if you would be willing to share them by tagging me (Craig Collins) or post them to the Preschool Sports FB page.  OR if you could hash tag "#Preschoolsports” I would appreciate it. Thanks for sharing!
