T-Ball (Ages 5-6)

The T-Ball division emphasizes fun and participation.  It is not competitive, and the goal is to get kids hooked on the sport and to return the following season.

WHO

Kids ages ages 5-6 on August 31, 2025 (see the Little League Age Determination).  All 5-year-old players and first-time players who are 6 years old should play tee ball.  If your child played a season of tee ball already, the Single A (coach pitch) division may be more fun and appropriate than T-ball.

SIGN UP YOUR DAUGHTER

NBLL offers an OPT-IN all girls team option.

The purpose of an all-girls team is to provide a comfortable setting in which to learn a new activity that will put their grit and strength on display, in addition to having fun with their friends.  These teams will play against the other co-ed teams and will not be treated any differently.

Please register via the normal process and email our T-Ball Vice President at [email protected] if your daughter would like to join an all-girls team.

We need at least six girls per team to make this happen, so please encourage your daughter’s friends to join her!

WHEN

Practices: One-hour practices will be held on a weekday afternoon or evening.  Practice times are set by coach availability and preference along with field availability.  Practices will start in mid-to-late March and the season will end by Memorial Day weekend.

Games: 6 to 8 one-hour games will be played on Saturdays.

WHERE

Centennial Middle School, North Boulder Park, and Iris Fields

TEAM CONSTRUCTION

We try to keep the number of players on a team low to make sure all players get a lot of action, but this requires a lot of parents willing to help coach!

Friend (up to 2 max!) and coach requests are accepted during the registration process (it is really difficult to make changes AFTER teams have been formed).

**Friend requests will take priority over coach requests and while every effort is made to satisfy all friend requests, we can’t guarantee everyone will be met.**

EQUIPMENT

NBLL provides: soft baseballs as well as a team jersey and cap (player keeps both)

You provide: We are requesting that players have their own helmets and bats, in addition to shoes/cleats, pants, socks, and glove. We do not want costs to prevent kids from playing, so please email us at [email protected] if financial assistance would be helpful.

GET INVOLVED

Please volunteer to be a Coach or Team Parent.  You can mark your interest when registering your child.  You do not need to have any baseball experience to coach a team, and your child will enjoy the game so much more if you are on the field with them.  You can even Co-Coach with one or more parents to split the duties.  We will provide guidance, and your “job” is simply to make sure they are having fun and being safe.  Even if you can’t commit to coaching, please volunteer to help out at practices and games as an assistant coach when you are available—T-ball has been compared to herding cats, and your coaches will need plenty of herders!
