Emphasis placed on fundamentals, learning the concept of
baseball, and having fun on the diamond. The diamond
is at 50 feet and a certain amount of flexibility is
encouraged so the kids have fun and play is expedited.
Players bat from a tee or a coach can pitch. The
players use an "Incredi-ball" which is softer than a
baseball, they play 4 innings in which everyone bats and
plays defensively. No game scores or standings are kept
in this league. Each child will receive a team jersey and
hat with their registration fee.
