About Tee Ball

Tee Ball is considered "the entry sport to baseball for young players". Tee Ball associations allow children between the ages of four and eight to play in their leagues. Generally, Tee Ball takes less skill than baseball.

The difference between Tee Ball and softball or baseball is that the child hits the ball off of a tee. The ball is not pitched. Thus, Tee Ball allows a young child to learn the skills of hitting, catching, running the bases and throwing.

It is estimated that 2.2 million youths play Tee Ball.
