House Softball

T-Ball (Kindergarten and Pre-K)

A perfect way to introduce your child to the fundamentals of the game. Players learn the foundation skills of the sport that prepare them for softball. Players are coached by volunteer parents and hit from a Tee throughout the season. The emphasis is on fun, instruction and equal participation. Teams participate in an 16 game instructional season in addition to practices scheduled by managers. Rosters and team assignments are loosely structured around the schools. Most games are played at Langendorf Park and Lines School. There are no standings or playoffs at this level just great instruction and plenty of fun.
