Are you thinking about playing T-Ball this Summer? SBBA is the place for you! Did you know that SBBA fields two divisions of T-Ball for 4-7-year-olds? 

Our minor division is for our youngest players, in the Minor Division we focus on the starter skills of baseball. Players will learn how to throw, catch, field ground balls, and basic batting skills. Practices will be centered around these core skills.

Each team will play a weekly game and the entire division will have a weekly division-wide practice. Practices will be held on Saturday mornings at 9 am in the newly renovated Okell Park. Game days are scheduled for Tuesday evenings at either 5 pm or 6:15 pm, 

T-Ball Major will focus on refining the skills taught at the Minor level. Players will receive more batting-specific coaching, more intensive fielding and throwing practice, and will begin to learn "how to play baseball".  Kids will also be introduced to pitched baseballs from coaches during gameplay. The focus of the minor division is to prepare for 8u next season. 

Major Division game nights are Wednesday at 5:00 pm or 6:15 pm. They will also have division-wide practices on Saturday mornings at 9:00 am.
